Oxygen overvoltage measurements were made on bright gold electrodes in oxygen saturated 2 N H,SO, solutions to which H,O, was added until the HsOp concentration was O-1 M. It was found that the H,O&abilired systems produced a much more 'reversible' electrode, most likely because steps involving the
The cathodic reduction of molecular oxygen was studled on bright platmum under voltammetnc contitlons m 1 N HCIO, Periodic current-potential curves were measured at 30 mV/s, and the ohnuc and capacitive components of the impedance platmum/solutlon were determmed under the same con&tlon at 1000 c/s m
The mechanism of the cathodic reduction of oxygen on smooth platinum in 0.5 M H,SO, solution has been studied on the basis of the current efficiency for H,O, formation. H,O, formation occurs at cathode potentials 1680 mV (nhe), whereas the initial rest-potential lies at 960 mV. The current efficien
