Identification of surface films formed on nonactive metal electrodes

The next section reviews some work on the identification of surface films formed on nonactive metal electrodes in different solutions of importance. Most of the work devoted so far to these nonaqueous systems relates to Li salt solutions. However, it can be speculated that an effect similar to that of the cations on the surface chemistry found for Li ions (compared with tetraalkyl ammonium cations) is expected for other cations of alkaline and alkaline earth metals (e.g., Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+).
