(a) RDE voltammograms (scan rate: 5 mV s⁻¹) of poly-Pt electrode in O₂-saturated 0.1 M KOH at different rotation speeds. The N₂ background has been subtracted. (b) Koutecky–Levich plots derived from the curves of Panel (a) at a series of representative potentials. Symbols are experimental data; lines are the linear regressions. (c) Dependence of the electron transfer number on the electrode potential. (d) Tafel plot obtained from RDE voltammograms at 1600 rpm.
