The kinetics and mechanism of O2 reduction on an Ru electrode in acid electrolytes have been measured by using a disc-ring method. The reaction proceeds through a "parallel" mechanism with the exchange of approximately four electrons. It shows a pronounced dependence on the oxidation state of the Ru

Oxygen reduction has heen studied in alkaline solution on a ruthenium electrode modified by thallium and lead adsorbates. A partially oxidized ruthenium electrode is inactive for oxygen reduction. Thallium and lead adsorbates cause pronounced changes on the ruthenium surface giving rise. to a four e
## Abstract Owing to the inherent performance and cost advantages alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) have been being a highlight in fuel cells research. However the degradation of the performance coming from the cathode due to the oxygen diffusion limit leaded by the flooding is a critical issue to overcom
Electrochemical reduction of oxygen on a nickel electrode in alkaline solutions has been studied using the rotating ring-disk-electrode method. The change in the ratio of two possible reaction courses (uiz with or without intermediate formation of hydrogen peroxide) depends on the potential degree o
Cobalt compounds are especially interesting for electrochemical reactions, involving a chemisorptions tep. Polycrystalline cobalt oxide samples have been prepared by thermochemical oxidation of a CoLi alloy with a well defined composition. Steady state behaviour concerning oxygen reduction in alkal
