Ha. Duarte et al., THE EFFECTS OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS ON INHIBITION OF HYDROGEN PERMEATIONTHROUGH A MILD-STEEL MEMBRANE, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 144(7), 1997, pp. 2313-2317
The effectiveness of 5-(4-pyridyl)-2,7-nonadiene, and 1 phenyl-2-propy
n-ol (PP) on inhibition of the hydrogen evolution reaction on a 1010 s
teel membrane and on the degree of hydrogen ingress into the membrane
was determined. Hydrogen evolution rates and permeation currents were
monitored as a function of time at different applied potentials. In th
e presence of 0.5 g/liter PP in the electrolyte, the hydrogen discharg
e and permeation current density were inhibited by 98 and 95%, respect
ively.
