Abstract:Differential thermal analyses (DTA) curves were obtained on preanodized and HNOs-passivated platinum (Pt) samples. In both cases two kinds of adsorption states for oxygen on Pt were detected as well as oxygen dissolved in the interior of the Pt metal. The DTA results agree well with the cathodic stripping pulse data obtained earlier.From x-ray diffraction analysis and vacuum fusion studies on samples of bright Pt passivated in air-saturated concentrated HNO3, it was concluded (1) that the Pt metal contained en… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
