Voltammetric characterization of Hg²⁺ ion behaviour in acid media on different electrodes

Abstract

This article presents some aspects related to the cathodic discharge of the mercuric ion provided from HgCl2 into an aqueous solution of 0.1 M H2SO4 on different types of electrodes: gold disc electrode (GDE), carbon paste electrode (CPE) and platinum-disk electrode (PDE). Using the rotating disk electrode technique applied on PDE it was established that the cathodic discharge mechanism for the mercuric ion is based on both process types: mass transport, achieved by diffusion and charge transfer, achieved by electron transfer from cathode to mercury ion
