Oxygen reduction has been studied at silver electrodes in alkaline solutions. &e-treatment of the electrodes significantly affects the kinetics of the reduction. At the pre-reduced electrodes, the rate-determining step at high cds is the first discharge step. At low cds, the rate-determining step ch

β¦ Synopsis
Cobalt compounds are especially interesting for electrochemical reactions, involving a chemisorptions tep. Polycrystalline cobalt oxide samples have been prepared by thermochemical oxidation of a CoLi alloy with a well defined composition.
Steady state behaviour concerning oxygen reduction in alkaline medium has been examined. Performance passes through a maximum for a lithium content of 0.15 at-%.
Transient state behaviour has been examined by the potentiostatic pulse method. From the data it is possible to determine reaction parameters such as oxygen-chemisorption velocity and coverage, and oxide parameters such as carrier density, surface-potential-barrier height and thickness. The results show that the limiting factor is a surface-potential barrier which inhibits the oxygen chemisorption step.

Die erhalten Resultate erlauben eine Bestimmung einzelner Reaktionsparameter wie der Geschwindigkeit der Sauerstoff-Chemisorption und des Bedeckungsgrades, aber such der Parameter des Oxyds wie der Dichte der Ladungstrager und der Hiihe und Ausdehnung der OberflLhenpotential-Barriere. Die Resultate zeigen, dass der begrenzende Faktor eine Oberflitchenpotential-Barriere ist, welche den Teilschritt der Chemisorption hemmt.
