A study has been made of the Oz/S02 electrode in moIten equimolar LisCO,-Na2C0, at 600Β°C. The overall electrode reaction, reaction order with respect to PsO, and exchange currents have been determined from opencircuit potential, potentiostatic and voltammetrtc measurements.

β¦ Synopsis
Overvoltage measurements in the molten LiF-NaF-KF eutectic mixture, containing oxides, hydroxides and water in solution, were carried out by the galvanostatic single-pulse method in order to investigate the oxygen-and hydrogen-evolution reactions.
Experiments were. performed at 600Β°C on bright platinum electrodes with suitable oxygen or hydrogen electrodes as reference electrode.
The results account for the high values of solubility of water and hydrofluoric acid in molten alkali fluorides and give some insight into the kinetics of the oxygen-and hydrogen-electrode reactions.

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
Splitting of the monomer bands was also observed; it is attributed to cis-trans-isomerism; the band of shorter wavelength is assigned to the all-trans-form, that of longer wavelength to a mono-cis-isomer that arises by rotation around the C-2/C-8 bond
