β¦ Synopsis
In situ spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the nickel electrode-alkaline solution interface. By uv-ois reflectance spectroscopy, it was possibie to characterize (by their respective absorption spectra) some of the oxygenated species formed at the electrode surface, namely aNi(OHh, flNi(OH),, BNiOOH and yNiOOH, and to follow their evolution depending on the electrode potential. By ir reflectance spectroscopy, information was obtained on the nature of the hydroxides (strength of the bond between OH and Ni) and on the role of water. In particular the results are in favour of an hydrated oxide structure for the so called oxyhydroxides.
