THE ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF IRON, ZINC AND COPPER IN THIN-LAYER ELECTROLYTES

An electrochemical cell, suitable for the study of electrochemistry in thin-layer electrolytes, has been designed and produced. Comprehensiv e electrochemical research on this electrochemical cell under various electrolyte thicknesses (100-1132 mum) has been carried out using a d. c. (potentiodynamic polarization) electrochemical technique. By this m ethod, it is hoped to elucidate information concerning the mechanisms of reactions occurring in thin-layer electrolytes and to what degree t he results obtained can be extended to research into atmospheric-corro sion phenomena.
