Description
Summary:Analytical descriptions are given for the charges passed through the hydrogen electrode (at E ads=const) and the shifts of its open circuit potential, which are observed during the strong adsorption of neutral particles and ions with the formation of adatoms. The integral values of transients of current and those of open circuit potential are explained by using the concept of electrode total charge. The interrelation between transients of current and open circuit potential is analyzed. To check experimentally the relationships obtained, the adsorption measurements on a platinum electrode in solutions of iodine and iodide anions are mainly used (0.5 M H 2SO 4 as the supporting electrolyte). The theoretical conclusions are shown to be in adequate agreement with the experimental results.
