Ellipsometry is applied to study the oxidation of platinum in sulfuric acid solution. Steady-state and transient measurements show that oxide-film formation commences when the potential is anodic to 0.95 V. The film is light absorbing. The film thickness increases linearly with potential. A mechanism of film growth based on place exchange is developed.
