Platinized-platinum electrodes were prepared under varying conditions of geometry, composition of the plating solution, time of plating, and current density. Surface areas of the platinized electrodes were measured by krypton adsorption using the BET method as well as by a modification of the method of Bowden-Rideal. Good agreement between the two methods was observed.The measured values of the specific surface areas of the platinum deposits were functions of all of the variables considered. ) unless CC License in place (see abstract). ecsdl.org/site/terms_use address.
