Mozota and Conway

The initial steps of oxide formation on Ir were studied by Mozota and Conway [79] in different electrolytes. It was found that similar to Ru the oxidation of Ir starts... 

In order to explain the changing optical properties of AIROFs several models were proposed. The UPS investigations of the valence band of the emersed film support band theory models by Gottesfeld [94] and by Mozota and Conway [79, 88]. The assumption of nonstoichiometry and electron hopping in the model proposed by Burke et al. [87] is not necessary. Recent electroreflectance measurements on anodic iridium oxide films performed by Gutierrez et al. [95] showed a shift of optical absorption bands to lower photon energies with increasing anodic electrode potentials, which is probably due to a shift of the Fermi level with respect to the t2g band [67].

There are a number of reasons as to why hydrous oxide growth is not observed on cycling in strong base. Local pH changes, and therefore hydrous rearrangement, would not occur in these more highly buffered solutions. Conway and Mozota attributed the lack...
