ChemInform Abstract For the first time, a transpassive anodic peak preceding oxygen evolution is detected together with the corresponding reduction peak. The formation of an Fe(VI) species is proposed. Based on the voltammetric results, the general electrochemical behavior of mild steel in carbonate/bicarbonate solutions is discussed with special emphasis on the transpassive region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
