Kinetic and Structural Consequences Derived from Ageing Effects on Electrochemically Formed Layers

The influence of different ageing processes on electrochemical reactions is analysed. Three main types of ageing processes are described: open circuit ageing, potentiostatic ageing and potentiodynamic ageing.

Sumario:The influence of different ageing processes on electrochemical reactions is analysed. Three main types of ageing processes are described: open circuit ageing, potentiostatic ageing and potentiodynamic ageing. The data derived from different electrode processes show that the films are composite systems themselves. They involve various nonequilibrated species which accordingly react to attain either a single equilibrium configuration or a configuration involving equilibria among the various surface species. Surface restructuring and cluster-type reactions are important contributions toward understanding the dynamic behaviour of electrochemical interfaces.
