Abstract: The kinetics of anodic O_2 evolution on Ti/RuO_2+TiO_2 anodes was studied in acid solutions, by with two Tafel regions have been confirmed. At low current densities i.e. the first Tafel region ?φ/lgi=2.303RT/((1+β)F, whereas at high cds i. e. second Tafel region it is 2.303RT/βF. In the low current densities region, the reaction order with respect to α_w is 4. For the second Tafel region the reaction order is 2.
The kinetic data obtained show that the rate determining step of the anodic evo-lution of oxygen on Ti/RuO_2+TiO_2 anodes in acid solutions is
