The diffusion layer widtli is very much dependent on tire degree of agitation of tire electrolyte. Thus, via tire parameter 5, tire hydrodynamics of tire solution can be considered. Experimentally, defined hydrodynamic conditions are achieved by a rotating cylinder, disc or ring-disc electrodes, for which analytical solutions for tire diffusion equation are available [37, 4T, 42 and 43]. 

Platinum has also had its share of attention in recent years. The effect of phosphoric acid concentration on the oxygen evolution reaction kinetics at a platinum electrode using 0-7 m-17-5 m phosphoric acid at 25°C has been studied with a rotating disc electrode . The characteristics of the ORR are very dependent on phosphoric acid concentration and H2O2 is formed as an intermediate reaction. Also, platinum dissolution in concentrated phosphoric acid at 176 and 196°C at potentials up to 0-9 (SHE) has been reported .

Beside laminar flow created by e.g. a rotating disc electrode mrbulent flow provides a means of artificially enhanced transport. A consistent mathematical description and analytical treatment of this mode of transportation is not possible. Various approximations have been proposed and tested for correctness [84Barl], an experimental setup has been described [78Ber, 83Her, 831wa]. From comparisons of measured and calculated current density vs. electrode potential relationships exchange current densities are available. (Data obtained with this method are labelled TPF.)...

It has been shown by employing the radioactive tracer method with C-labeled carboxylic acids [79] and with rotating disc electrode experiments [80] that carbo-xylates are adsorbed at the anode surface. 

C60 has been used to produce solvent-cast and LB films with interesting photoelec-trochemical behavior. A study of solvent-cast films of C60 on Pt rotating disc electrodes (RDEs) under various illumination conditions was reported [284]. Iodide was used as the solution-phase rednctant. The open-circuit potential shifted by 74 mV per decade of illumination intensity from a continuous wave (cw) argon-ion laser. The photocurrent versus power was measured at -0.26 V under chopped illumination (14-Hz frequency, vs. SCE) up to 30 mW cm and was close to linear. The photoexcitation spectrum (photocurrent versus wavelength) was measured at 0.02 V (vs. SCE) from 400 to 800 mn and found to be...

In a typical study of conductivity. Cook (1982) used a cell consisting of two platinum disc electrodes, 12 mm in diameter and 1-5 mm apart. The setting AB cement was examined in this cell which had been calibrated using a standard solution of0 02 M potassium chloride. Plots were recorded of spedfic conductance against time for each of the setting cements. For zinc polycarboxylate there was found to be a rapid drop in spedfic conductance about 10 minutes after the start of mixing. This behaviour was consistent with the replacement of relatively mobile protons by significantly less mobile zinc ions in the polycarboxylate chain. Con-...

Levich124 has given the relationships between the limiting current i) and the bulk concentration C of the metal ion for plate electrodes, conical electrodes and rotated disc electrodes (RDEs) under hydrodynamic conditions anticipating his well known equations treated in Section 3.3.2.2 on hydrodynamic electrodes, we may assume the relationships concerned using the more general equation... 

Here we have to deal with three types (see Fig. 3.68), viz. (a) the rotating disc electrode (RDE), and (b) the rotating ring electrode (RRE) and the rotating ring-disc electrode (RRDE). The construction of the latter types suits all purposes, i.e., if the disc or the ring is not included in the electric circuit, it yields an RRE or an RDE, respectively, and if not an RRDE, where either the disc forms the cathode and the ring the anode, or the reverse.

A simple example is the rotating disc electrode described in detail in chapter 2. The horizontal spinning disc draws liquid up and then flings it out sideways, creating a continuous but steady-state convection pattern. If the distance down from the disc is denoted by z and the distance across the disc surface by the radial distance, r, then it is not difficult to show that ...

There arc many controllcd-convection techniques available but we will restrict our discussion to the two most commonly employed by the electrochemist the rotating disc electrode (RDE) and the rotating ring disc electrode (RRDE).
