✦ Synopsis
The electrolytic nucleation of mercury on platinum single-crystal electrodes is used to study the behaviour of the oxide layer covering the platinum surface. The platinum electrode is treated periodically with nitric acid prior to the nucleation process. The activity of the electrode in regard to the nucleation process increases with the increase both of the concentration of the nitric acid and of the time of treatment. It is concluded that in the presence of nitric acid at open circuit the oxide layer is progressively removed from the platinum surface.

nucleation Clectrolytique de Hg sur electrode monocristalline Pt est utilisee pour Ctudier le comportement de la couche d'oxyde recouvrant la surface du platine. L'electrode de Pt est trait&e pbiodiquement par HNO,, avant le processus de nucleation. L'activite de cette electrode, a l'egard du dit processus, s'accroit quand s'accroissent .la concentration de HNO, et la duree du traitement. On en deduit qu'en presence de HNO, en circuit ouvert, la couche d'oxyde est progressivement Bliminee.
