Electrochemical Effects Produced by Light‐induced Electron Emission

Abstract: Direct evidence for light‐induced deposition of electrons in the solution near a mercury cathode is obtained by studying the coulostatic photopotential produced by a short duration light pulse. Similar studies permit the evaluation of rate constants for electron scavenging and the diffusion coefficient of the OH radical. The mechanisms of the photo‐currents produced by NO−3, NO−2 and H3O+ are discussed.

“…Barker et al [429][430][431] proposed an interesting method for investigating electrode reactions involving atomic hydrogen and other atoms and radicals. The essence of these experiments lies in that the electrons, emitted upon illumination of the electrode by light of a sufficiently high frequency, react with H30+ ions at small distances from the electrode (of the order of tens of angstroms) thereby producing H atoms.…”

“…The photoemission of electrons from a mercury electrode into a concentrated electrolyte solution, and the subsequent chemical and physical processes that accompany it, have in recent years been the subject of extensive experimental and theoretical investigations (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). The detailed succession of events which occurs upon electron emission has now been determined for a large number of chemical systems by means of a variety of experimental techniques.…”

“…The alternate experimental approach entails the use of a very short duration flash, or pulsed light, source to generate transient electron emission which can be followed directly to provide kinetic and mechanistic information (3,(14)(15)(16)(17). Because of the large amount of noise pickup resulting from the flash discharge and the concomitant difficulties in maintaining adequate pote ntial control at short times, potentiostatic chronoamperometric measurements have not been very useful previously.…”
