Most earlier papers dealt with the mercury electrode because of its unique and convenient features, such as surface cleanness, smoothness, isotropic surface properties, and wide range of ideal polarizability. These properties are gener y uncharacteristic of solid metal electrodes, so the results of the sohd met electrolyte interface studies are not as explicit as they are for mercury and are often more controversial. This has been shown by Bockris and Jeng, who studied adsorption of 19 different organic compounds on polycrystaUine platinum electrodes in 0.0 IM HCl solution using a radiotracer method, eUipsometry, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The authors have determined and discussed adsorption isotherms and the kinetics of adsorption of the studied compounds. Their results were later critically reviewed by Wieckowski. ... 

Results on the potential and concentration dependence of the adsorption of phenol, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, aniline, benzonitrile, thiophenol, benzoylchloride, 1-naphthol, 1-naphthoicacid, 1-naphthaldehyde, 1-naphthamine, and 1-naphthoylchloride were reported by Bockris and Jeng/... 

Fig. 6.112. Comparison of coverage vs. potential curves for (o) experimental and ( ) theoretical [Eq. (6.270)] results predicted by the adsorption model for the adsorption of (a) 10-5 M phenol and (b) 10""4 M n-valeric acid on platinum electrodes. Under these experimental conditions, the pzc was found to be at about 0.35 V. (Reprinted from J. O M. Bockris and K. T. Jeng, J. Electroanal.
