Tafel slopes of -RT/βF in the high current density (cd) region and of -RT/αF in the low cd region increase with temperature as predicted for the temperature independent symmetry factor β(=1/2) and transfer coefficient α(=1).
Transition of the kinetics from the low to the high cd region, as well as the fractional reaction orders at low cd's, are interpreted in terms of the first charge transfer step as rate determining in both cd regions but under Temkin adsorption conditions in the low, and Lagmuirian conditions in the high cd region.
In the high cd region, the reaction order is zero.
The increase in sulphate anion concentration reduced the current in the higher cd region.
In the low cd region, the reaction order with respect to OH− is −1/2.
For the high cd region the reaction orders are 1 and 0 in acid and alkaline solutions, respectively.

A previous analysis for the pH dependence of − 2.3 RT/F at all pHs in both cd regions is in error.
The rate determining step of the reaction is, therefore, the same in both cd regions and the observed changes in the Tafel slopes arise from different conditions of adsorption of reaction intermediates in these regions, as previously suggested.
The observed change in the Tafel slopes and the difference in the apparent enthalpies of activation arise solely from different conditions of adsorption of reacton intermediates and oxygen containing species in these two cd regions.
Enthalpies of activation based on these data support the conclusion that in both cd regions the first electron transfer step is rate determining irrespective of the difference in the Tafel slopes.
Sort users such that users in low CD regions are.
