Electrochemical growth mechanism of nanoporous platinum layers

Porous platinum is a frequently used electrocatalyst and thermoelectric material, but the growth mechanism of nanopores in platinum layers is still not fully understood. Here, the authors show that hydrogen is not involved in the reduction process of PtCl4, however it enables the formation of nanopo...
