The electrochemical behaviour of polycrystalline nickel electrodes in different carbonate-bicarbonate ion-containing solutions

Abstract: The dissolution and passivation of polycrystalline nickel in carbonate-bicarbonate ion-containing solutions covering wide ranges of pH and electrolyte concentration were investigated by employing voltammetric, galvanostatic and potentiostatic transient techniques. Results obtained with a rotating disc electrode allow the competing reactions related to the active-passive transition to be distinguished through the influence of the potential sweep rate and the rotation speed on the electrochemical behaviour of th… Show more

“…In all cases, an anodic plateau appears at ca. 0.2 V indicating the formation of a passive film composed probably by Ni(OH) 2 and NiCO 3 , as previously reported when polycrystalline nickel electrodes are immersed in different carbonate-bicarbonate ion containing solutions [16]. As in PBS, the main feature is related to the presence of Cl À that affects the passive layer leading to its breakdown and the dissolution of Ni at lower potential values.…”

“…Indeed, it is quite evident that upon scanning the potential towards E < À0.8 V, a large cathodic current appears (Figure 6c). The cathodic reaction that renews the electrode surface can be attributed to the reduction of NiCO 3 and/or Ni(OH) 2 , as mentioned above and already suggested [10,11,15,16]. This allows defining the experimental conditions where the Ni electrode can be freshly renewed.…”
