## Ahtract -The effect of electrode surface roughness on the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction has been studied for mild steel and nickel cathodes in 10 M NaOH at 348 0 K. With the nickel cathodes, the 'T'afel slope was independent of whether the electrode surface was smooth or roughened

✦ Synopsis
Expressions are derived for the cathodic Tafel slope as a function of both xeta potential and surface hetero eity. 8"
The Tafel slope is shown to depend on the rate of change of zeta potential with the electrode solution pd in acid, neutral and alkaline solutions. The effect of surface heterogeneity is investigated on the basis of the theory of absolute reaction rates, and comparison is made with the effect of Temkin-type adsorption. It is concluded that the two factors may account for (i) the deviation of the experimental Tafel slope from the values previously associated with simple mechanisms and
(ii) the occurrence of slopes of 2.303 RT/F frequently observed in the literature.
R&wua&L'on ttablit des expressions pour la pente de Tafel en for&ion a la fois du potentiel zeta et de l'hCt6rog6n&t6 de la surface. L'on montre, qu'en solutions acide, neutre ou alcalme, le pcnte de Tafel d6pend de la vitesse de changement du potentiel x&a avec la difI&nce de potentiel &&rode/ solution. L'elfet de l'h6t&og6n&6 de surface est 6tudi6 sur les bases de la th6orie de-s vitesses absolves de reactions et la comparaison est faite avec l'effet dune adsorption de type Temkin. L'on conlcut que lea deux facteurs rendent compte de (i) la deviation de la pente exp6rimentale de Tafel par rapport aux valeurs pr&demment associ6es a des mecanismes simples (ii) la possibilite de pentes 2,303 RT/F frequemment signal&s dans la litt6rature. Zusammenfassung-Es wurden Rexiehungen abgeleitet fiir die kathodische Tafel-Steigung in Funktion des [-Potentials und der Ober&henheterogenit~t. Es wird gexeigt, dass die Tafel-Steigung von der Geschwindigkeit der Anderung des [-Potentials mit dem Potenti a# rung Elektrode/Lasung in sauren, neutralen und alkalischen Lbsungen abhiingt. Der Ehrfluss der . eterogenitslt der Oberlkiche wurde auf der Grundlage der Theorie der absoluten Reaktionsgeschwindigkeiten untersucht und ein Vergleich mit dem Einfluss einer Adsorption vom Temkin-Typ angestellt. Es kann daraus geschossen werden, dass die beiden Einflussgri%sen (i) fib die Abweichingen der experimentellen Tafel-Steigungen von den vorgiingig einfachen Reaktionsmechanismen xugeschriebenen Werten und (ii) fii das Auf&ten der hibdig beobachteten Steigung 2,303 RT/F in der Literatur verantwortlich sein mogen.
