Journal of Electrochemistry

We compare the behaviors of irreversible adsorption of Sb(III) and its reduction, underpotential deposition of Sbon Au(111) and Au(100) as well as mutual interactions of the processes.

Anodic Polarization Behaviors Of Carbon Steel In Bicarbonate Solution, Jing-Mao Zhao, Yu Zuo

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic polarization curves of mild steel were measured in sodium bicarbonate solution of various concentrations, and the surface products were analyzed by XPS. Two anodic current peaks and two passive zones are observed in all the curves. When HCO_3~- ions concentration is below 0.1mol/L, the two peaks are so close that the first passive zone is difficult to be observed. When HCO_3~- ions concentration is above 0.1 mol/L, the first peak appears clear, while the second becomes smaller.
