Electrochemical studies, transition metal copper

In many STM studies little effort has been made to control the atmosphere within the electrochemical cell. Yet oxygen is known to exert a major role in the chemistry and corrosion of many transition metals. For example, several STM studies have used the copper/copper ion reference electrode, yet the electrode is known to be polarized from its reversible condition by oxygen, leading to significant dissolution [154]. These effects become particularly significant in the smdy of metal deposition and dissolu-... 

An additional study on the same system has been reported, including a comparison of direct electrochemical and conventional chemical dissolution of metallic copper in TMTD solutions in various solvents under conditions of simultaneous ultrasonic treatment of the reaction system [133,620]. It has been shown that the system TMTD-copper-solvent could serve as a perfect model to study the influence of simultaneous application of ultrasonic treatment (see Sec. 3.5) on the syntheses of complexes of the transition metals in different nonaqueous solutions, by using and testing several techniques [620]. Several other studies on the interaction of copper and iron species with thiruam sulfides have also been reviewed [621].
