H. Gomez et al., PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF CHALCOPYRIT E (CUFES2) IN ALKALINE MEDIA, Boletin de la Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 42(2), 1997, pp. 207-215
The oxidation of chalcopyrite has been studied in pH 9.2 berate buffer
solutions using voltammetry, photovoltammetry and XPS measurements wi
th the aim of characterizing the nature of the films that cover the su
rface. Taking into account the semiconducting properties of some oxida
tion products and the chalcopyrite itself, it is possible to deduce th
e presence of different species in the interval of potentials consider
