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

An exptimental program was conducted ta determine the catalytic activity of platinum supported on carbon for the electrochemical reduction of oxygen in phosphoric acid as a function of temperature and electrolyte concentration. The Tafel slope was found to be approximately equal to 2.3 RT/F and inde
The kinetics of oxygen reduction at Pt in trifluoromethanesulphonic acid (TFMSA) (0.05-6.0 M) and in 1.0 M TFMSA with addition of small concentrations of phosphoric acid (0.003-0.1 M) was investigated using the rrde technique. In TFMSA, the oxygen reduction current on the oxide-covered Pt was found
