A potassium difluoride melt at 25O"C, in which minor amounts of water were dissolved, was electrolysed in order to investigate the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution at bright Pt electrodes. The following electrode reactions are discussed:

The hydrogen-evolution reaction at bright platinum electrodes in molten KHSOl has been studied over the temperature range from 270 to 430Β°C by steady-state and transient methods. At low potentials the atom-atom combination step is rate-determining. At high potentials the ion-atom electrochemical des
Polypyrrole, an electronic conducting polymer, is used as a matrix for the dispersion of Pt particles . These particles can be included by two methods, viz . (1) by electrochemical deposition of platinum particles on a polypyrrole covered glassy carbon disc and (2) by incorporation of Pt particles d
Voltammetric studies of hydrogen gas evolution from I M H,SO, and chloride gas evolution from 2SM NaCI/O.l M HCI both at platinised platinum electrodes show that simultaneous ultrasonic irradiation produces enhanced rates of gas evolution largely due to the removal from the electrode surface of adhe
In unbuffered aqueous solution, the hydrogen evolution at iron electrodes is usually first order in hydrogen-ion dependence at pH below about 7 and pH independent at higher pHC1-41. This indicates that hydrogen ions and water molecules are the main electroactive reactants for this reaction in acid a
