The effect of five different metal oxides on the corrosion rate of acetylene black during oxygen evolution in alkaline electrolyte was determined using the analytical methods described in Part I. All five metal oxides (FelOn, Cr20~, NiO, C0:~O4, and Ru) catalyzed the corrosion processes of the acetylene black, resulting in corrosion rates accelerated by factors of 3-14. The mechanism of this catalytic effect remains unclear. Some results with C0304 have indicated direct contact with the oxide, and the carbon is not required to accelerate the corrosion, suggesting a redox mechanism involving dissolved species. However, the effects of Fe20:~ and Cr~O~, which were significantly greater than with C0:~O4, are difficult to rationalize on this basis, as their redox potentials lie well below the oxygen evolution potential range.
