The Electrochemical Behavior of Aluminum

Abstract: A study has been made of the reactivity of pure aluminum with cerium+4 sulfate in sulfuric acid. Electrode potentials, weight loss data, and polarization curves are presented, and it is shown that the reaction may be interpreted from an electrochemical point of view. The theory of the “mixed potential” is suggested as a more generalized concept than the local cell idea for the interpretation of the dissolution process. A brief outline of a probable mechanism for the dissolution and passive behavior of aluminum… Show more

“…Reduction of cobalt(III) by aluminium is favoured by thermodynamics, but aluminium is more prone to side reactions such as reduction of water and protons, both causing formation of hydrogen gas. 8,10,61,70,71 This was evidenced by formation of plenty of gas bubbles and a pressure build-up in the leaching vials, but the gas could not be identified. Joulié et al reported that a 750% excess of aluminium metal is required to reduce cobalt (III) efficiently during leaching of LIB cathode materials by sulphuric acid.…”

“…On exposure of a stainless steel surface to chloride solutions there probably is preferential adsorption (especially at grain boundaries) of chloride ions, which tends to exclude adsorption of film healing oxygen, as in the case of platinum surfaces (30). At certain imperfections in the protective film, occurring p~imarily at grain boundaries, cations from the metal can diffuse through the fihn more readily than at other points (45,46). This diffusion process may also be accelerated if chloride ions become imbedded in the lattice of the protective fihn; these chloride ions would then prevent the formation of protective oxides (47).…”

“…In order for this superposition approach to function it is necessary that the rate and kinetics of each partial reaction be independent of the other partial reaction(s) at a given potential. This independence of partial processes has been shown for several combinations of reductant (metals or hydrogen) and oxidant (5)(6)(7)(8)(9), and consequently would appear to be quite general. However, independence of the partial processes is not a necessary criteria for charge and mass balance across the electrode-solution interface, as suggested in some previous work (10,12).…”
