Electrochemical studies were done on thin and films on Ti by cyclic voltammetric and potentiostatic polarization techniques. The films were quite conductive and prevented the underlying surface from playing a harmful role during measurements. The results indicated the formation of a surface quasi‐reversible redox couple, CoIV/CoIII, in solution. The reaction order with respect to OH− ion concentration was found to be nearly 2. The Tafel slopes decreased with increasing concentrations. was observed to evolve oxygen gas at a lower overpotential as compared to that of . Electrode kinetic parameters suggest similar mechanisms for the oxygen evolution for both the oxides.
