✦ Synopsis
Rmgdlsc voltammetrlc experiments on antimony m H,SO, solutions show that a partly passlvatmg oxide layer IS formed on the metal surface preventmg oxygen evolution Due to the Ionic conductlvlty and/or porosity of the layer the dlssolutlon of the metal proceeds through the layer, and Its rate 1s controlled by chffuslon m the layer Antimony IS &solved mamly m the trivalent state Based on the determmatlons of the Tafel coefficient the mechamsm of dlssolutlon IS dependent on the acid concentration In the case of the lead-antimony eutectlc the formation of a semlpermeable lead sulphate membrane retards the rate of dlssolutlon UC Impedance measurements on antimony show features of a simple paswatlon process, eg a negatwe polarization resistance after the maximum In the current The effect of mass transfer through the oxide layer IS also observed Thus the (IC Impedance measurements confirm the mterpretatlon given above

The distribution of the Pb and Sb atoms in the (Pb, Sb)S layers of the mis5t compound [(Pb, Sb)S] 2.28 NbS 2 was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This compound has NaCl-type MS (M ؍ Pb, Sb) layers (Q-layers) alternating with NbS 2 layers (H-lay
The anodic dissolution of lead in perchloric acid-sulphuric acid mixtures has been studied using potentiodynamic sweeps and current step measurements. As the surface concentration of lead increases, lead sulphate precipitates at the surface. This solid phase is not in equilibrium with the bulk solut
The corrosion processes at open circuit conditions and in the active dissolution region of antimony, at low anodic overpotentials, have been studied in sulphuric acid solutions. It was established that antimony dissolution at open circuit is coupled to oxygen reduction, which occurs via the hydrogen
