Abstract:
The multilayer films consisting of polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride functionalized graphene (PDDA-GNs) and phosphomolybdate functionalized graphene (PMo
12-GNs) (PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs) were fabricated on the substrate by layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. The PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs multilayer films were used as catalyst carrier for electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles (Au/PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n). The Au/PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n fabricated catalyst was characterized by XRD, XPS and SEM. The results indicate that Au nanoparticles are uniformly-dispersed on the PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n multilayer films. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (It) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) analyses show that the Au/PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n has high electrocatalytic activity and stability regarding hydrazine oxidation. Compared with Au/glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the hydrazine oxidation current density of Au/PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n increases from 0.46 mA/cm
2 to 0.87 mA/cm
2. And the steady current density of the Au/PDDA-GNs/PMo
12-GNs
n catalyst is 2.5 times as high as the Au/GCE catalyst.
