Abstract
The underpotential deposition of Pb(0) on gold occurred at 0 V > ED > -0.6 V (SCE) using cyclic voltammetry at a rotating gold ring-disk electrode. A complete monlayer of Pb atoms on gold is equivalent at 420 μC/geo-metric cm2 or about 247 μC/reaI cm2. Bulk Pb(0) deposition does not occrr until this amount of charge has been consumed. The monolayer of underpotential Pb(0) yields three peaks upon anodic stripping. Further, adsorption of Pb(ll) on gold occurs during the cathodic disk potential scan and begins at about +0.6 V. From ring collection data, about 20% of a monolayer equivalent remains adsorbed at the disk as a lead(II) species during the anodic disk potential scan. Complete desorption occuss just before the potential for the dissolution of gold (ED ≃ +0.7 V) in the chloride medium.
