ELECTROLYTIC CELL FOR X-RAY DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF ELECTRODE PHENOMENA

Abstract

An electrolytic cell was designed for use on a horizontal circle x-ray spectrogoniometer to permit simultaneous diffraction and electrochemical study of electrode specimens. This cell has as one electrode a partly submerged rotating disk of the sample from which x-ray diffraction patterns are made as a portion of this electrode rotates out of the solution. The cell is designed to study electrochemical processes of widely varied nature including active material transformations in primary and secondary battery electrodes, electrolytic deposition and corrosion phenomena. To illustrate the application of the cell to electrochemical investigations, preliminary work shows that silver oxides can be identified on a working silver electrode in KOH solution.
