On the influence of the annealing temperature and heavy current treatments on the porous structure of platinum electrodes and on the kinetics of the oxygen reaction at high temperatures

TLDR
In this article, the influence of high temperature annealing and heavy current treatments of porous Pt electrodes was investigated with scanning electron microscopy, and it was demonstrated that both the structure and the catalytic activity are influenced by the treatments.
Abstract
The influence of high temperature annealing and heavy current treatments of porous Pt electrodes is investigated with scanning electron microscopy. The results are discussed on the basis of the kinetic behaviour of these electrodes, known from the literature or deduced from our still unpublished results. It is demonstrated that both the structure and the catalytic activity are influenced by the treatments.
