Abstract
We report the electrodeposition of platinum on evaporated gold substrates, which provides a method of synthesising surfaces which are active towards the oxidation of methanol. The inclusion of an inorganic growth direction agent is seen to provide a means of altering both the morphology of the deposits as well as their electrocatalytic behaviour.
