Electrochemical Behavior Of Zinc Alloy Anode In Ca(Oh)_2 Solutions Of Different Ph, Peng-Ying Ren, Ji-Quan He

Journal of Electrochemistry

The polarization curves of zinc alloy anodes in Ca(OH)2 solutions have been measured by potentiodynamic method,and the composition of corrosion products were examined by X-ray-diffraction(XRD).The experimental results indicated that not only the electrochemical behavior of zinc alloy anodes were absolutely different in every alkaline solutions,but also many electrochemical parameters were determined,such as zero current potential(E0),the density of corrosion current(icorr),passive current density(ip),breakdown potential(Eb),and so on.There were three zero current potential when zinc alloy anodes in some Ca(OH)2 solutions which made passive state unstable.The graphs of E-pH about zinc alloy anodes dipped in different Ca(OH)2 solutions were drawn,and compared with the potential-pH …

The electrochemical behavior of zinc-indium alloy electrodes in 35%KOH solutions has been investigated by electrochemical methods including the potentiodynamic polarization and discharge measurements under constant current density.The results indicate that the anodic current density and passive current density increase after the indium addition.The discharge measurement shows that the addition of indium shortens the time to passive state for the Zn alloy compared to pure zinc at a large discharge conditions,that is the addition of indium may enhance the electrochemical activity of Zn alloy electrodes.It is found that the anodic dissolution of zinc-indium alloy electrodes in the concentrated KOH solution occurs …
