Some features of the mechanism of the anode process on platinum in KF-NaF-AlF 3 -Al 2 O 3 melt at 750-780 °C depending on the of anodic current density (0.5 mA/cm 2 to 2.0 A/cm 2 ) and anodic pulse duration have been studied using chronopotentiometry method.In curves of change in the platinum anode potential a small peak at current densities of 10-30 mA/cm 2 and a clear peak at current densities of 0.5-2.0 A/cm 2 are recorded when the current is cut on. Analysis of dependencies of the transition time on the current density indicates that the first peak in curve is associated with the formation of an oxide compound on the platinum surface, and the second one is related to hindering the diffusion for delivery of electroactive particles to its surface.
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.
