β¦ Synopsis
An in situ uv visible reflectance spectroscopic technique is used to investigate the nickel electrode-alkaline solutiuh interface. It is shown that by recording the change in relative reflectivity of the surface vs the potential applied to the electrode, at various fixed wavelengths, it is possible to get the spectra of superGal layers.
Reflection-absorption spectra were thus obtained respectively for the hydroxide aNi( (two maxima at 360 and 500 nm) and the oxyhydroxide NiOOH (broad band with a maximum at 500-550 nm), providing new insights concerning the reversibility of some of the eleetrochemieal processes which occur on the electrode surface when varying the potential.
