The oxygen redn. reaction is one of the most important reactions in electrochem. due to the central role it plays in fuel cells, corrosion and industrial processes. For fuel cells, there is a renewed interest in catalysts for oxygen redn. in alk. media, as in this media a replacement of platinum by a less expensive metal is most promising and new alk. membranes might be available. In this study we conc. on the issue of detg. the catalytic activity in alk. media utilizing an electrochem. glass cell and the degrdn. of the catalyst with time. [on SciFinder(R)]     «
