The working electrode was produced by mixing 50 mg of catalyst with 50 μL of 5% nafion solution as a binder and 200 μL of isopropanol to generate a thin slurry. This mixture was then sonicated for 30 minutes and then deposited over a 0.071 cm 2 region on the glassy carbon (GCE) electrode. The working electrode was cleaned by mechanical polishing with alumina suspension and rinsed with copious amounts of Millipore water. About 3 μL solution of the synthesized catalyst in isopropanol dispersion was drop casted on GCE, and IPA was evaporated at ambient temperature for electrochemical studies. UHP Nitrogen was sparged to the electrochemical cell prior to each experiment to eliminate the dissolved oxygen.
