✦ Synopsis
Al&met-Potentiodynamic
experiments in the range 600-06 mV/s, designed to elucidate the processes by which the zinc electrode in alkali becomes passive, are described. At low overpotentials the dissolution process is a complex solution mechanism in which soluble zincate species leave the electrode by the processes of mass transport in solution. At overpotentials in the region 04-15 V the dissolution process is slow and involves the formation of a Iayer of ZnO on the electrode. The lattice dissolves via this layer at a low rate. The electrode is not covered by a mechanically sound film of 20 until the overpotential has rrsen to cu 1.5 V. It is not possible to decide whether the initially formed fdm of ZnO comes from the electrolyte or is formed in situ on the lattice by direct oxidation.
Rbum&Description
d'experiences potentiodynamiques conGues dans le domaine 60-0,06 mV/s, en vue d'elucider les processus de passivation de l'electrode de zinc en milieu alcalin. Pour de faibles surtensions, le processus de dissolution implique un mecanisme complexe au tours duquel les especes solubles du zincate quittent l'electrode selon des modalites de transport de masse dans la solution. Pour des surtensions dans l'intervalle 0,4-1,5 V, le processus de dissolution est lent et implique la formation dune couche de ZnO sur l'electrode. Le n&au se dissout via cette couche a une faible vitesse. Tant que la surtension n'a pas atteint environ 1,5 V, l'electrode n'est pas recouverte par un film mecaniquement consistant de ZnO. 11 n'apparalt pas possible de discerner si le film de ZnO intialement forme provient de l'electrolyte ou s'il se forme in situ sur le reseau par oxydation directe.
