Abstract

The reactions of an iron electrode in alkaline electrolytes of different concentrations are studiedin-situ using internal reflection and external reflection FTIR spectroscopy. Fe(OH)2 is formed during the reaction Fe(O) → Fe(II) at all investigated concentrations. The product of the reaction Fe(II) → Fe(III) isδ-FeOOH in concentrated andα-FeOOH in diluted alkaline solutions.
