Hello,

I have been struggling to get a good CV of my gold electrodes in 0.5 M H2SO4. I have been using them to deposit platinum onto and after this have been polishing off the platinum deposits using alumina and then sonicating in ethanol for 10 minutes. The CV keeps getting a peak at around 0.3 V and the AuO peak seems very small.

Can anyone suggest what this is from? Any tips for cleaning or do I just need to persevere and keep polishing them more?

Thanks
