Cyclic Voltammetric Calorimetry Studying The Deposition Of Copper Of Pt Electrodes, Yongchun Zhu, Robin H J Clark
Journal of Electrochemistry
In the present paper,cyclic voltammetric calorimetry has been used to study thedeposition of copper on platinum electrode from LiClO_4 aqueous solution. Cyclic voltammetricthermogram and cyclic voltammetric differential thermogram show that the deposition of copper on theelectrode is an exothermal process with a strong interaction between copper and platinum layer(-3227.0 kJ /mol).The electrochemical oxidation of the deposited copper is composed of twoprocesses :an endothermal activation process with 747.0 kJ/mol of activation enthalpy,and anexothermal oxidation reaction with-189.9 kJ/mol of the reaction enthalpy, which are accord withthe data from the theoritical estimation and thermodynamic handbook respectively.

The electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of formaldehyde and formic acid ona Sb-modified platinum (Pt/Sb_(ad))was investigated.Results showed that the Pt/Sb_(ad) electrode waselectrocatalytically more active than a Pt electrode in the anodic oxidation of formaldehyde and formicacid.In the case of formaldehyde,an oxidation peak appeared at a potential of ca.0.7V.During theoxidation of formic acid,a 4-fold increase in the 1st peak current was observed.The Sb-modifiedplatinum electrode was found to be most electrocatalytically active at a coverage of 0.75±0.05.Theelectrocatalytic activity of the Pt/Sb_(ad) electrode can be best explained in terms of the geometrical effect,which may lead to the inhibition of the formation of the …

The influence of Ag_2SO_4,Li_2SO_4,Na_2SO_4,K_2SO_4,NH_4)_2SO_4,MgSO_4 and KF onthe evolution of O_2 and the formation of Cr_2O at Pt and PbO_2 anodes was investigated in mixedH_2SO_4-Cr_2(SO_2)_3 solutions.The kinetic data related respectively to Cr_2O formation and O_2 evolutionat Pt and PbO_2 anodes were measured by method of resolving the steady-state polarization curve.TheTafel slope of steady-state ～1g i relationships for Cr_2O formation reaction is close to 2×2. 303RT/βF,whereas for O_2 evolution it is close to 2.303 RT/βF(with β=0.5). The results indicate thatthe current efficiency for Cr_2O formation is increased by adding Ag￣+ ions to the anolyte and decreasedby adding Li￣+,Na￣+,K￣+,NH and Mg￣(2+) ions to …
