Abstract
Films of C60 clusters were electrophoretically deposited on optically transparent electrode surfaces. These C60 films constitute a new class of carbon electrodes with properties that differ from graphite and diamond electrodes. The electrophoretically deposited C60 cluster film is highly porous and is quite stable to oxidative potentials. Hence C60 film provides an electrochemical window to carry out oxidation processes. Upon electrodeposition of platinum particles, these nanostructured carbon films show remarkable activity toward methanol oxidation. The dependence of methanol oxidation on the amount of platinum and C60 in a half-cell reaction demonstrates the role of fullerene nanoclusters as new form of carbon support.
