Abstract

The electrochemical reactions which take place on lead and lead dioxide electrodes of a lead-acid battery are highly influenced by the presence in the electrolytic solution of ions Cd(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Co(II). Current density-potential curves were obtained in this work by using a Pb/Ca alloy. It was observed that Co(II) and Ni(II) ions catalyzed both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. On the other hand, Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions decreased the hydrogen evolution rate.

Abstract

На электрохимические реакции, протекающие на электродах свинца и двуокиси свинца в свинцово-кислых аккумуляторах, сильно влияет присутствие в электролитическом растворе ионов Cd(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) и Co(II). Кривые плотность тока-потенциал получены, используя сплавы Pb/Ca. Найдено, что металлические ионы Co(II) и Ni(II) катализируют реакции выделения как водорода, так и кислорода. С другой стороны, металлические ионы Cd(II) и Zn(II) уменьшают скорость реакции выделения водорода.
