Abstract
To investigate the effect of scan rate (ν), the instantaneous dissolution of Pt under potential cycling 0.5–200 mV/s was studied using a channel flow double electrode. In an anodic scan, ν affects the initiation and inhibition of Pt dissolution during oxide formation. Slow scans induce Pt dissolution earlier, but soon suppress it. The extent of dissolution, however, did not show significant changes like the oxide development does when changing the ν. In a cathodic scan, the electrochemical dissolution of Pt2+ during oxide reduction speeds up with ν. The trivial chemical dissolution of unstable PtO2 into Pt4+ also occurs and increases with increasing ν.
