KINETICS OF IONIZATION OF OXYGEN,
Abstract
Ionization of oxygen on a nickel electrode in alkali was investigated under pressure. The phenomenon of 'cathode passivity' of nickel relative to the process of reduction of oxygen is described. Ionization of oxygen on smooth platinum in acid and alkaline solutions was investigated. The high sensitivity of the process to various types of poisoning is shown. A kinetic scheme for the reduction of oxygen on an activated smooth platinum electrode is proposed. Kinetic schemes for the reduction of oxygen on platinum and silver are compared. The effect of the forming radicals on the process of cathode reduction of oxygen is discussed. (Author)
