TL;DR: The anodic behavior of iridium in the oxide layer region has been investigated using conventional electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry as discussed by the authors, and the mechanism of charge storage is discussed in terms of both an expanded lattice theory for oxide growth on noble metals and a more recent theory of irreversible oxide formation with subsequent stoichiometry changes.
Abstract: The anodic behaviour of iridium in the oxide layer region has been investigated using conventional electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry. Applying a triangular voltage sweep at 10 Hz, 0.01 to 1.50 V increases the amount of electric charge which the surface can store in the oxide region. This activation effect and the mechanism of charge storage is discussed in terms of both an expanded lattice theory for oxide growth on noble metals and a more recent theory of irreversible oxide formation with subsequent stoichiometry changes. The lack of hysteresis between the anodic and cathodic peaks at ca. 0.9 V suggests that the process involved here is proton migration in a relatively thick surface layer, i.e. that the reaction involved is some type of oxide-hydroxide transition. Lack of chloride ion inhibition in the anodic region also supports the irreversible oxide formation theory; however, to account for the hydrogen region of the potential sweep a compromise theory involving partial reduction of the outer regions of iridium oxide film is proposed. The loss of charge storage capacity when the activated iridium surface is anodized for a short time above ca. 1.60 V is attributed to loss by corrosion of the outer active layer from the metal surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, cyclic voltammetry was used to study the mechanisms of electron transfer and peak potentials of eleven alkenes, propylene oxide and propylene sulfide, and carbon disulfide.
Abstract: We have studied by cyclic voltammetry the mechanisms of electron transfer and peak potentials of eleven alkenes, propylene oxide, propylene sulfide, and carbon disulfide. We have also studied the cationic polymerization of styrene in acetonitrile solution initiated by controlled potential electrolysis at the anodic peak potential of styrene. The electrolyte used was tetrabutylammonium fluoborate, which was not electroactive at the electrolysis potential, and the reference electrode was a Ag0/Ag+ electrode. The electrochemical studies show that direct electron transfer from styrene is the initiation steps. Plots of reacted monomer concentrations versus time are sigmoidal curves. The propagation rate constant was found from a kinetic relationship based on an autocatalytic reaction. The activation energy is 15.6 kcal/mole at 20°C. The current behavior and effect of stirring on polymerization rate suggest that the growth of polymer takes place partially on the electrode surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical properties of lead electrodes in aqueous chloride solutions were experimentally investigated over a range of 0.1 to 6.0 mM HCl with the aim of extending previous work carried out only at 1.0 M HCl concentration.
Abstract: The electrochemical properties of lead electrodes in aqueous chloride solutions were experimentally investigated over a range of 0.1 to 6.0 M HCl with the aim of extending previous work carried out only at 1.0 M HCl concentration. Experimental results using the rotating disc electrode technique, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic and potentiostatic charging conditions were employed in conjunction with spectroscopic studies of the electrolyte and X-ray powder diffraction analyses of electrode surface products. Experiments were also carried out in simulated sea water (3% NaCl) at different pH and compared with results obtained using HCl at the same molar concentration. At all chloride concentrations the overall reaction led to the formation of PbCl2 on the electrode surface, with the exception that in NaCl solutions where pH ≥ 6.5, Pb(OH)Cl was found to be one of the products. For concentrations of less than 0.4 M HCl, our results indicated that the diffusion of chloride ions to the electrode surface was the...

TL;DR: In this paper, the dehalogenation of aromatic compounds at a mercury cathode in dimethylformamide containing 1% deuterium oxide with tetra-n-propylammonium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte may or may not result in deuteriam incorporation, depending on the substrate.
Abstract: Reductive dehalogenation of aromatic compounds at a mercury cathode in dimethylformamide containing 1% deuterium oxide with tetra-n-propylammonium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte may or may not result in deuterium incorporation, depending on the substrate. Compounds giving a radical anion intermediate which is detectable by cyclic voltammetry do not incorporate deuterium. The radical anion decomposes away from the electrode to a σ-radical which abstracts a hydrogen atom from the organic solvent. Compounds which give no detectable radical anion accept one electron in the initial step and fragment to a σ-radical at the electrode surface. This radical is reduced further to a carbanion which reacts with incorporation of deuterium into the product. Evidence for σ-radical intermediates in the latter cases comes from isolation of dimers or products of intramolecular radical cyclisation of appropriate substrates.
