Reaction Mechanisms Study Of Pb Electrodes In Sulfuric Acid And Sodium Sulfate Solutions By Eqcm, Xian-Ping Zou, Zong-Xuan Kang, Yu-Lan Huang, Dong Shu, Ya-Yun Zhong, Jun-Nan Hao, Yu-Qing Liao
Journal of Electrochemistry
Surface reaction processes of Pb electrodes were investigated in H2SO4 and Na2SO4 solutions by LSV, CV and EQCM. The results in the voltammogram and the mass change curve of the Pb electrode indicated that the oxide products of lead included PbSO4 and PbO·PbSO4 in sulfuric acid solution with a positive-going potential scan from -1.0 V to -0.4 V and then PbO·PbSO4 transformed into PbSO4. However, the oxide product of lead was only PbSO4 in sodium sulfate solution. The experimental results revealed that the acid solution is necessary for the …

Mechanism Study On The Electrocatalytic Oxidation Of Acetylene To Oxalic Acid, Xiu-Li Song, Rui-Long Jia, Wen-Yan Dong, Zhen-Hai Liang
Journal of Electrochemistry
A new method of electrocatalytic synthesis oxalic acid from acetylene was explored and the synthesized oxalic acid was characterized by Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (Uv-vis) and Infrared spectroscopy (IR). First-principles calculations were carried out to examine the adsorption of acetylene over the Pt(111) surface. The electrocatalytic oxidation behavior of acetylene has been investigated on a Pt electrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and steady-state polarization in Na2SO4 solution. The formation mechanism of oxalic acid in the Na2SO4 solution was proposed and the transfer coefficients of the reaction were calculated. The results show that acetylene molecule tends to …

The visible and infrared spectroelectrochemistry of zinc and manganese porphinones and porphinediones was carried out in THF solutions. The aim of this work was to use FTIR spectroelectrochemistry and DFT calculation to determine whether the reduction was centered predominantly on the metal or the macrocycle. For zinc(II), the first one-electron reduction must occur on the macrocyclic ring because the metal’s d-orbitals are filled (d10). The carbonyl bands on the macrocyclic ring were used to probe the electronic structure because they can be readily observed in the infrared spectra. The results of this study are complementary to previous spectroelectrochemical …

Electrodeposition Of Al-Mg Alloys From Acidic Alcl3-Emic-Mgcl2 Room Temperature Ionic Liquids, Rostomali M., P. Abbott Andrew, S. Ryder Karl
Journal of Electrochemistry
Electrodeposition of aluminium-magnesium alloys have been carried out onto platinum and copper cathodes from Lewis acidic aluminium(III) chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid containing magnesium(II) chloride by constant current and constant potential methods at room temperature. Magnesium content in the deposited alloy increases with increasing MgCl2 concentration in the ionic liquid and with increasing cathodic current density. The influences of various experimental conditions on electrodeposition and the morphology of the electrodeposited layers have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). On increasing the deposition current densities the dense, bright, adherent …
