Abstract
Steady-state potentials of various platinum electrodes are measured in cells containing electrolyte ZrO2+ Y2O3(10 mol %) in the temperature range 673–773 K in binary equilibrium gas mixtures N2+ O2and CO + CO2, as well as in four-component nonequilibrium gas mixtures N2+ O2+ CO2+ CO containing 0–3 vol % CO and 0–10 vol % O2. Adding CO to a gas mixture makes the electrode potential deviate from equilibrium, which is explained by chemisorption of CO on the electrode. The oxygen, which is adsorbed on platinum, interacts with CO; as a result, CO2undergoes desorption and the surface concentration of CO drops.
