Abstract
Abstract The formation and reduction rates of the oxide layer of the platinum electrode were investigated by triangular-wave voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. A rate equation for the anodic process has been proposed in order to describe the fact that the electrode potential increases linearly with an increase in the surface concentration of oxygen. The cathodic reduction of surface oxide obeys the second-order rate law with respect to the amount of oxide covering the surface.
