Corrosion and Passivation of Nickel Rotating Disk Electrode in Borate Buffer Solution Kim, Younkyoo;
Abstract
The electrochemical corrosion and passivation of Ni rotating disk electrod in borate buffer solution was studied with potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanisms of both the active dissolution and passivation of nickel and the hydrogen evolution in reduction reaction were hypothetically established while utilizing the Tafel slope, impedance data, the rotation speed of Ni-RDE and the pH dependence of corrosion potential and current. Based on the EIS data, an equivalent circuit was suggested. In addition, carefully measured were the electrochemical parameters for specific anodic dissolution regions. It can be concluded from the data collected that the oxide film, which is primarily formed by passivation, is converted to NiO by dehydration under the influence of an electrical field.
