Namely, 10 000 trapezoid-wave cycles between 0.6-0.95 VRHE (0.7 V s -1 ) in 0.1 M HClO4 with potential holds of 3s at both the UPL as well as LPL are proposed to obtain sufficient information on the loss of electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), specific activity (SA) as well as mass activity (MA). Additionally, using the same methodology it has been shown that the loss of ECSA, SA and MA decrease dramatically when the applied ADT potential/voltage window is narrowed to only 0.7-0.85 V instead of the typical 0.6-0.95 V. Lastly, the present work also provides evidence that regardless of the used operational potential/voltage window, anodic transient dissolution is not significantly impacted by the increase in the length of the potential hold at the LPL (from 3 s to up to 2 min), whereas the cathodic dissolution as a result increasing effects of the oxide place-exchange from prolonged potential holds at the UPL is (also from 3 s to up to 2 min). Lastly, both anodic and cathodic
