In the oxidation of formic acid on Bi/Pt, temporal periodic recovery of the activity of the electrode may lead to an increased and prolonged activity of the Pt metal electrode. It can be operated at parameters where the local interfacial potential, and therefore the reaction rate, exhibits spatiotemporally inhomogeneous distributions. Examples are standing waves, travelling pulses and complex spatiotemporally oscillating patterns. The theoretical simulations were clearly confirmed by experimental observations and vice versa.
