The electrochemical behaviour of sulphur dioxide in sulphuric acid solutions at a platinumrdeis characterized. Cycling the potential in these solutions between about −0.10 and 1.2 Vsceresults in activation of the electrode so that diffusion-controlled SO2oxidation currents can be observed in the double layer region of platinum. Without activation, SO2oxidation proceeds noticeably only in the potenial region of surface oxide formation. Evidence is presented which indicates that activation results from formation of a catalytic layer of sulphur species. The catalytic activity of this layer decays with time in the course of SO2oxidation. The formation of sulphur oxides through oxidation of adsorbed sulphur and the formation of platinum oxides complicate the voltammetric behaviour of the system.
