✦ Synopsis


The cathodic reduction of oxygen in concentrated potassium hydroxide (15 wt-% H,O) at 225Β°C is greatly at%cted by the presence of dissolved nickel. This effect shows up both in concentration and activation polarizations.

These observations, together with indication8 for the presence of nickel redox couples suggest that the oxygen reduction proceeds at least partially via these couples.

Cet effet se. manifeste a la fois dans les polarisations de concentration et d'activation. Ces observations, ainsi que des indications sur la prt%ence de couples redox du nickel suggerent que la reduction de l'oxygene se produit, au moins partiellement, par l'interm&liaire de ces couples. Zusammenfa88ung-Die kathodische Reduktion von Sauerstoff in konxentrierter Kalilauge (15 Gew. % H80) bei 225Β°C wird von gel&stem Nickel stark beeintlusst. Dieser Effekt macht sich sowohl in der Diffusionstibersparmung als such in der Aktivierungs polarisation bemerkbar. Aus diesen Bobachtungen, xusammen mit denen von Nickel Redox Systemen wird geschlossen, dass die Sauerstoffreduktion mindestens teilweise iiber diese Redoxsysteme abliiuft.
