ChemInform Abstract: Effect of Underpotential Deposition of Heavy Metals on the Kinetics of the Cathodic Reduction of Chromium(VI) and Persulfates on Platinum.
First published: January 26, 1988
Abstract
From potentiostatic current density-potential measurements on a Pt rotating-disc electrode it can be stated that the heterogeneous electrocatalytic reduction of chromium(VI) and persulfates on Pt is strongly promoted by upd adlayers of heavy metals (Bi, Tl).
ChemInform Abstract
From potentiostatic current density-potential measurements on a Pt rotating-disc electrode it can be stated that the heterogeneous electrocatalytic reduction of chromium(VI) and persulfates on Pt is strongly promoted by upd adlayers of heavy metals (Bi, Tl). The results are interpreted in terms of preventing the blocking of the active sites of the electrocatalyst surface by inhibition of the destructive chemisorption of ionic species present in solution.
