Current-limiting electrode

Similarly to the response at hydrodynamic electrodes, linear and cyclic potential sweeps for simple electrode reactions will yield steady-state voltammograms with forward and reverse scans retracing one another, provided the scan rate is slow enough to maintain the steady state [28, 35, 36, 37 and 38]. The limiting current will be detemiined by the slowest step in the overall process, but if the kinetics are fast, then the current will be under diffusion control and hence obey the above equation for a disc. The slope of the wave in the absence of IR drop will, once again, depend on the degree of reversibility of the electrode process. [Pg.1940]

The effects of ultrasound-enlianced mass transport have been investigated by several authors [73, 74, 75 and 76]. Empirically, it was found that, in the presence of ultrasound, the limiting current for a simple reversible electrode reaction exhibits quasi-steady-state characteristics with intensities considerably higher in magnitude compared to the peak current of the response obtained under silent conditions. The current density can be... [Pg.1942]

In an alternative design, the actual tip of the ultrasonic hom may be used as the working electrode after insertion of an isolated metal disc [77, 78 and 79]. With this electrode, known as the sonotrode, very high limiting currents are obtained at comparatively low ultrasound intensities, and diflflision layers of less than 1 pm have been reported. Furdiemiore, the magniPide of the limiting currents has been found to be proportional to D, enabling a parallel to be drawn with hydrodynamic electrodes. [Pg.1943]

Mass Transport. Probably the most iavestigated physical phenomenon ia an electrode process is mass transfer ia the form of a limiting current. A limiting current density is that which is controlled by reactant supply to the electrode surface and not the appHed electrode potential (42). For a simple analysis usiag the limiting current characteristics of various correlations for flow conditions ia a parallel plate cell, see Reference 43. [Pg.88]

Eddy diffusion as a transport mechanism dominates turbulent flow at a planar electrode ia a duct. Close to the electrode, however, transport is by diffusion across a laminar sublayer. Because this sublayer is much thinner than the layer under laminar flow, higher mass-transfer rates under turbulent conditions result. Assuming an essentially constant reactant concentration, the limiting current under turbulent flow is expected to be iadependent of distance ia the direction of electrolyte flow. [Pg.88]

Turning now to the acidic situation, a report on the electrochemical behaviour of platinum exposed to 0-1m sodium bicarbonate containing oxygen up to 3970 kPa and at temperatures of 162 and 238°C is available. Anodic and cathodic polarisation curves and Tafel slopes are presented whilst limiting current densities, exchange current densities and reversible electrode potentials are tabulated. In weak acid and neutral solutions containing chloride ions, the passivity of platinum is always associated with the presence of adsorbed oxygen or oxide layer on the surface In concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions, the possible retardation of dissolution is more likely because of an adsorbed layer of atomic chlorine ... [Pg.945]

Let us see now what happens in a similar linear scan voltammetric experiment, but utilizing a stirred solution. Under these conditions, the bulk concentration (C0(b, t)) is maintained at a distance S by the stilling. It is not influenced by the surface electron transfer reaction (as long as the ratio of electrode area to solution volume is small). The slope of the concentration-distance profile [(CQ(b, t) — Co(0, /))/r)] is thus determined solely by the change in the surface concentration (Co(0, /)). Hence, the decrease in Co(0, t) duiing the potential scan (around E°) results in a sharp rise in the current. When a potential more negative than E by 118 mV is reached, Co(0, t) approaches zero, and a limiting current (if) is achieved ... [Pg.10]

A more rigorous treatment takes into account the hydrodynamic characteristics of the flowing solution. Expressions for the limiting currents (under steady-state conditions) have been derived for various electrodes geometries by solving the three-dimensional convective diffusion equation ... [Pg.91]

Overall, the RDE provides an efficient and reproducible mass transport and hence the analytical measurement can be made with high sensitivity and precision. Such well-defined behavior greatly simplifies the interpretation of the measurement. The convective nature of the electrode results also in very short response tunes. The detection limits can be lowered via periodic changes in the rotation speed and isolation of small mass transport-dependent currents from simultaneously flowing surface-controlled background currents. Sinusoidal or square-wave modulations of the rotation speed are particularly attractive for this task. The rotation-speed dependence of the limiting current (equation 4-5) can also be used for calculating the diffusion coefficient or the surface area. Further details on the RDE can be found in Adam s book (17). [Pg.113]

Derive the Levich equation for the limiting current at the rotating disk electrode [based on combining equations (4-4) and (1-12)]. [Pg.139]

The role of the pH of the medium in the electrode reactions of organic compounds in aqueous solutions is well understood and has been recently reviewed in detail (Zuman, 1969). In particular, our understanding of this parameter is due to the large number of polarographic investigations where it has been found that the half-wave potential, the limiting current and the shape of the wave for an oxidation or reduction process may all be dependent on the acidity of the medium. [Pg.178]
