27. We have confirmed that the peak current due to the hydrogen adsorption and desorption on the Pt surface was observable when the deposited amount of Pt was comparable to that of the PANI film.

33. It is widely accepted that PANI becomes an insulator when it is fully reduced. During the electrochemical reduction, PANI is not fully reduced, and acts as an electronic conductor. Therefore, even after the electrochemical reduction, a metal can be electrodeposited on the PANI film.
34. Even though the passed charge is the same, the mass of the deposited metal varies with the different types of metals. Taking into consideration that the methanol oxidation was electro-chemically carried out, however, we attempted to compare the activity based on the passed charge.
