Measurement of oxygen reduction activities via the rotating disc electrode method: From Pt model surfaces to carbon-supported high surface area catalysts

The aim of this report is to scrutinize the thin-film rotating disk electrode (TF-RDE) method for studying the electrocatalytic activity of high surface area catalysts. Special emphasis is given to the oxygen redn. reaction (ORR) on C-supported Pt catalysts. From measurements on 4 different Pt catalyst samples with various av. particle sizes, it is demonstrated in detail how the intrinsic properties of the catalyst, i.e., the mass activity (A/gPt) and the specific activity (A/m2Pt), are evaluated. The potential sources of error are critically discussed and guidelines for the measurements are given. Also, the specific ORR activities detd. for the different catalyst samples are analyzed and compared to polycryst. Pt. The previously reported effect of the particle size on the specific activity for the ORR is interpreted from the shift in the potential of zero total charge and the concomitant alteration of the adsorption properties.
