The Passive Oxide Films on Cobalt in Weakly Alkaline Solution

The Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Passive Oxide Covered Transition Metal Electrodes in Alkaline Solution Part II - Cobalt

Details are outlined of an electrochemical investigation of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at passive oxide covered polycrystalline Co electrodes in aqueous alkaline solution. Kinetic studies on electrodes subjected to different pre-treatment routines, yielded different values of the Tafel slope and the reaction order with respect to OH activity. Only one mechanistic pathway could account ...

Growth of ultrathin cobalt oxide films on Pt(111)

The effect of saccharin on microstructure and corrosion behavior of nanocrystalline nickel thin films in alkaline solution

In this study the effect of crystallite size reduction and microstructure on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of nanocrystalline nickel (NC Ni) were investigated using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements in 10 wt.% NaOH. NC Ni coatings were produced by direct current electrodeposition using chloride baths in presence and absence of saccharin as...

The Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Passive Oxide Covered Transition Metal Electrodes in Aqueous Alkaline Solution. Part 1-Nickel

Various aspects of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at passive oxide covered polycrystalline Ni electrodes in aqueous alkaline solution were investigated using electrochemical techniques. Steady state polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to measure kinetically significant parameters including the Tafel slope and the reaction order with respect to OH activit...
