The activities of the fabricated electrodes toward the oxygen evolution reaction are evaluated. The loading amount and morphology of the IrO2 deposits are varied by controlling the electrodeposition potential (E-dep) and time (t(dep)). When electrodeposited at 0.7 V. the IrO2 loading ranges from 0.007 to 0.464 mg cm(-2) (t(dep): 1 similar to 30 min). In the PEMWE test at 90 degrees C, the IrO2/CP electrode with an IrO2 loading of 0.1 mg cm(-2) shows the highest performance (1.92 A cm(-2) at 1.8 V) in which high IrO2 utilization is achieved without significant exposure of the substrate carbon surface. The developed IrO2/CP electrodes provide cell performances comparable to those in previous reports with a higher IrO2 loading, indicating markedly enhanced mass activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
