Ac quartz crystal microbalance applied to the studies of the nickel hydroxide behaviour in alkaline solutions
Abstract
The study of the kinetics of a nickel hydroxide electrode has been carried out by ac electrogravimetric measurements between 1kHz and 0.01Hz. The reaction involves an incorporation of hydrated alkaline cation and a slow deprotonation reaction. The effect of alkaline cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, Rb+) incorporation is also considered.
