• ). Prior to the measurements the electrode was activated by repeatedly cycling between the oxygen- and hydrogen-evolution regimes. A typical cyclic voltammogram (CV) taken for sample PtER is shown by the gray curve in Figure 1. As the potential is varied with triangular characteristics, the CV curve is run
