Abstract
Cyclic voltammetric and single potential step current-time transient experiments were carried out on the silver electrode in the presence of different concentrations of chloride. A monolayer peak was noticed at potentials more negative to the Ag/AgCl reversible potential. Cyclic voltammetric studies led to the conclusion that mono- and multilayer formation of silver chloride occur by adsorption-desorption (desad) and nucleation-growth processes respectively. Potentiostatic current-time transients revealed additional information, i.e. the presence of coupled nucleation-growth and desad kinetic processes during monolayer formation.
