Abstract
This chapter will discuss two different techniques viz., (a) voltammetry, and (b) in-situ optical absorbance spectrometry for studying corrosion phenomena of metals and non-metals. The basic principles of different voltammetric techniques such as linear potential sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and pulse voltammetry are described. Interpretation of the voltammetry results with reference to various reaction paths such as electrochemical, chemical, and coupled reactions; and different processes such reversible, irreversible, and quasi reversible are discussed. Examples of voltammetric techniques include corrosion of steels and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO). Basic principles of UV–Vis optical absorbance spectroscopy is discussed. The techniques of carrying out in-situ spectroscopy, and interpretation of results is described with an example of corrosion studies on FTO in different pH conditions.
