Abstract

The theoretical background necessary for the application of the rotating ring-disk electrode to the study adsorption processes at solid electrodes is presented. A study was made of the Cu(I)-Cu(II) system in 0.5 M HCl at a platinum rotating ring-disk electrode. The shapes of the curves for the disk current and ring current us. time and potential were in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. At 0.0 V, 0.15 mC/cm2 of Cu(I) is adsorbed on platinum for Cu(I) concentrations ranging from 10-6 to 2 X 10-3 M.
