Am. Kuznetsov et al., THE QUANTUM-CHEMICAL MODEL FOR THE 1ST STAGE OF THE COPPER ANODIC IONIZATION IN AQUEOUS-ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 29(10), 1993, pp. 1095-1098
The microscopic-chemical-event mechanism for the first stage of a two-
stage anodic copper ionization process was examined by the quantum-che
mical FNDO/2 method (i.e., fully disregarding differential overlapping
) and using the electrode-surface cluster model. The calculated exchan
ge current density correlates well with that measured experimentally.
