that is because platinum and palladium are inert elements and they wont react with the substance deposited on the electrode.. unlike if we use carbon electrodes, carbon will react with oygen deposited on it and escape out as CO2 gas.
They are conductive but inert usually - do not react or corrode or oxidize
