Platinum is commonly applied as the anode material for Kolbe electrolysis of carboxylic acids thanks to its superior performance. Literature claims that formation a barrier layer on Pt in acid electrolyte suppresses competing oxygen evolution and promotes anodic decarboxylation. In this work, we show by using combination complementary in-situ ex-situ surface sensitive techniques, presence acetate ions also prevents passive oxide platinum at high potentials. Furthermore, dissolves actively...
