Investigation Of Sodium Hypophosphite Anodic Oxidizing Behavior In The Process Of Acid Electroless Nickel Deposition, Mei-Yuan Wang, Ya-Fei Kuang, Yan Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic oxidizing behavior of sodium hypophosphite in the process of electroless nickle deposition (pH=5.5) was investigated with the linear potential sweep method and alternating current impedance. The results indicated that, the oxidation of NaH2PO2 was a complicated electrochemical process and affected by the concentration of NaH2PO2, the temperature of the bath, the sweep rate and the existence of nickel ion. The NaH2PO2 electrooxidation reaction was very likely preceded by heterogeneous interface transformation process, which might be the control step of the whole anodic process.

Deactivation Of Nickel Oxide/Hydroxide To Electrooxidation Of H2Po2 Anions On Nickel Electrodes In Alkaline Solutions, Tai-Xiang Jiang, Hui-Huang Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrooxidation of hypophosphite anions on polycrystalline nickel in alkaline solutions has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and open circuit potential measurements. The results are explained based on the mechanism that the first step of hypophosphite oxidation is the adsorption of hypophosphite ions on nickel, followed by the homolysis of its hydrogen bond with the formation of radicals. The oxidation of hypophosphite on nickel in alkaline medium occurs at lower potentials between ca. -0.8 V— -1.1 V (SCE) and phosphite ion is the only oxidation product. There is no indication of hypophosphite oxidation at higher potentials. Severe deactivation of the surface …

Effects Of The Surfactant And Ph On Linear Potential Scan Of Aqueous Na2S Solution, Qing-Feng Yi, Qi-Yuan Chen, Ping-Min Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

In presence of a cationic surfactant HTAB,linear potential scans for Na2S at graphite anode in both saturated sodium tetra-borate solution and 1 mol·L-1 NaOH solution, have been investigated. Results show that anodic current density increases and peak potentials shift to more negative with the increase of HTAB concentrations. The anodic current densities increased by addition of HTAB are larger in 1 mol·L-1 NaOH than those in saturated sodium tetra-borate solution, resulting from different acting forces of HTAB with various charged electro-active species. Both oxidation and reduction peaks in cyclic voltammograms for Na2S containing solution …
