✦ Synopsis


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 breaking of the O-O bond are not important to the electrode kinetics. In these electrode systems, the noble metal acts as a truly inert electrode, and the electrode behaves as a reversible 0,/H,03 electrode with an E. of +0*810 mV. Rest-potential phenomena are explained in terms of a mixed potential involving the Op/HaOl and the HIOI/H,O half-reactions.

From these kinetic studies, it is shown that Au is not only a poorer peroxide-decomposing catalyst than Pt but also a poorer catalyst for the electron-transfer step. R&sum&On a mesure la surtension d'oxygene sur des electrodes d'or brillant plong6es dans des solutions 2 N de HaSO addition&es de H,O, a la concentration 0.1 M. On a observe que les syst&nes stabilises en HtOI rendent le fonctiomrement de l'&ctrode considerablement phrs reversible a cause, probablement, du fait que les &apes comportant la rupture de la liaison O-O n'a&ctent pas sensible ment la cinetique du processus d'electrode. Dam ces syst&es le m&al noble agit cornme une electrode vraiment inerte et reversible 4/H,O, avec un E. kgal +0,810 mV. Lea phenomenes de potentiel de repos s'expliquent en fonction d'un potentiel mixte correspondant aux demimactions OI/HIOI et HIOI/HIO. Sur le base de ces etudes cinetiques on montre que l'or n'est pas settlement un catalysateur moins effectif que le platine vis-a-vis de la decomposition de l'eau oxyg&& mais qu'il est aussi moins effectif vis-&is de l'etape de transfert electronique. Z--Es wurden Messungen der Sauerstoffiberspannung an blanken Goldelektroden in sauerstoffg&ttigten 2 N HISO,-Liisungen durchgefilhrt, welche gleichxeitig 0,l M an HpOI waren. Man fand, dam die H,O,-stabilisierten Systeme eine bedeutend "reversiblere" Elektrode ergeben, sehr wahrscheinlich weil Reaktionsschritte, welche das L&en der O-O-Bindung verlangen, fti die
