In this paper, we concern about CO tolerance of Platinum (Pt)/Graphene Nanosheets (GNS) catalysts dependence of pH. The aim of this research is to investigate relationship between CO tolerance and Pt particle size base on pH dependence and also supporting material effect to CO-tolerance. The research method is modified Hummers and impregnation method to synthesize GNS and Pt/GNS catalysts, respectively. The results show that electrocatalytic measurements of Pt/GNS catalyst prepared at pH = 1 has the highest CO tolerance (69.4 %) under 500 ppm CO level in the hydrogen oxidation reaction among pH = 6, 12.5 and Pt/CB commercial catalyst. It means pH dependence and GNS may be expected to enhance electrocatalytic activity (CO tolerance) of Pt. Furthermore, GNS is possible used as an anode catalyst of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs).

Understanding how pH affects the activity of hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is key to developing active, stable, and affordable HOR/HER catalysts for hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers. A common linear correlation between hydrogen binding energy (HBE) and pH is observed for four supported platinum-group metal catalysts (Pt/C, Ir/C, Pd/C, and Rh/C) over a broad pH range (0 to 13), suggesting that the pH dependence of HBE is metal-independent. A universal correlation between exchange current density and HBE is also observed on the four metals, indicating that they may share the same elementary steps and rate-determining steps and that the HBE is the dominant descriptor for HOR/HER activities. The onset potential of CO stripping on the four metals decreases with pH, indicating a stronger OH adsorption, which provides evidence against the promoting effect of adsorbed OH on HOR/HER.
