The Potentiostatic Current Oscillations at Iron/Sulfuric Acid Solution Interfaces

Abstract

The regular oscillations of current at potentiostatically controlled (aq) interfaces are studied as a function of electrolyte concentration, hydrogen ion activity, stirring conditions, and temperature. The oscillation frequency changes according to well‐defined relationships among these parameters. The analysis of results indicates that various concurrent chemical and electrochemical reactions together with diffusional contributions participate to a different extent during each period.
