The electrolytic stripping technique has been found useful to study adsorption phenomena occurring at the metal/gas interface. The method has previously been applied to the platinumnitrogen system' and has now been applied to the platinum-oxygen system. A platinum wire with one end sealed in a soft

An experimental program was conducted to investigate the catalytic activity of platinum black and platinum supported on carbon for the electrochemical reduction of oxygen in 99 wt% phosphoric acid at 177'C as a function of platinum surface area. The activity of platinum was found to approximately do
