J. Sobkowski et al., COMPARISON OF BENZOIC-ACID ADSORPTION ON PLATINUM, GOLD, SILVER, AND COPPER ELECTRODES FROM PERCHLORIC-ACID SOLUTION, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 31(8), 1995, pp. 850-856
The adsorption of benzoic acid on platinum, gold, copper, and silver e
lectrodes has been studied by radiometric and voltammetric methods. Th
e adsorption of benzoic acid is a reversible process on Au, Cu, and Ag
electrodes. On Pt electrode the process is partly irreversible. The a
dsorption can be described by the Frumkin-type isotherm. The influence
of water adsorption on the Gibbs energy of adsorption has been discus
sed. The rate of adsorption follows the Roginsky-Zeldovitsh equation a
nd is controlled by the rate of surface processes.
