Oxygen Evolution at Oxidised Iron Electrodes: A Tale of Two Slopes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electro-catalytic activity with respect to water oxidation to form molecular oxygen of iron oxyhydroxide thin films on iron support surfaces in aqueous base is described. A mechanism involving iron surfaquo groups is proposed in excellent agreement with the kinetic data. It is shown that the rate determining step of the oxygen evolution reaction depends strongly on the conditions under which the iron oxyhydroxide film is generated.

A comparative study of the oxygen evolution reaction on oxidised nickel, cobalt and iron electrodes in base
Despite the recent renewal in interest in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at transition metal oxide based electrodes in alkaline solution, the details of the mechanism remain controversial. While most studies focus on a particular oxide in isolation, a consistent experimental examination of the oxides of adjacent elements is likely to be fruitful with respect to mechanistic elucidation. In ...
متن کاملThe Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Passive Oxide Covered Transition Metal Electrodes in Alkaline Solution. Part III – Iron
The kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at passive oxide covered polycrystalline Fe electrodes in aqueous alkaline solution were examined using both dc steady state polarisation and ac impedance techniques. It proved difficult to obtain reproducible polarisation data for bright anodes, and so an electrochemical pre-treatment routine was devised. Upon ageing of a given electrode spec...

The Lake Siah magnetite ± apatite deposit is situated in the northeastern of Bafq and Central Iran tectonic zone. The host rock of deposit is composed from lower Cambrian volcano-sedimentary sequence that has exposed as caldera complex. The iron mineralization is as massive ore and includes magnetite and hematite which form with apatite, quartz and calcite gangue minerals. Based on fluid inclus...

A carbon-past electrode modified with iron(II) phathalocyanine (FePc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of 2-pyridinethiol (2PT). 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) and sulfide ion in aqueous solutions. The modified electrode acts as an electrocatalyst for oxidation of these compounds, and lowers the overpotential for oxidation reactions by more than 400 mV, compared to t...
