Oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalytic properties

One can determine the potential dependence of Pt. From the value of Pt for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction, one can study the electrocatalytic property of metal electrodes.

In the present chapter we want to look at certain electrochemical redox reactions occurring at inert electrodes not involved in the reactions stoichiometrically. The reactions to be considered are the change of charge of ions in an electrolyte solution, the evolution and ionization of hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, the oxidation and reduction of organic compounds, and the like. The rates of these reactions, often also their direction, depend on the catalytic properties of the electrode employed (discussed in greater detail in Chapter 28). It is for this reason that these reactions are sometimes called electrocatalytic. For each of the examples, we point out its practical value at present and in the future and provide certain kinetic and mechanistic details. Some catalytic features are also discussed.
