Fig.4 shows the steady polarization curves of iron electrodes in Solution A, Solution B and special work electrode in Solution A (Curve A,Curve B and Curve C respectively). Solution A was composed of 100g/ L-1 (NH4)2SO4, and Solution B was added 0.1g/ L SeO2 in Solution A. To investigate whether SeO2 was adsorbed, the iron electrode was constant-potential electrolyzed 3 min in Solution B at -1.6V, removed and washed by double-distilled water. After the above series of processing, the electrode was used to make steady polarization curve in solution A which was Curve C.
From the composition of the solutions, it can be concluded the curves are the steady polarization curve of hydrogen evolution. Comparing Curve B to Curve A, it is seen that with the adding of SeO2 the potential of hydrogen evolution moves from -1.3 V to -1.5V. Curve C is similar to curve B although the electrolytes are different. Therefore, SeO2 is able to take place adsorption on the cathode surface and facilitate further the hydrogen overvoltage. |
