Hidden Problems in Interfacial Electrochemistry

摘要

We reconsider some old topics in interfacial electrochemistry using non-traditional approaches leading to formulation of new problems and their possible decisions. These problems arc: the experimental evaluation of partial charge transfer during anion adsorption on metals, the important role of dissociative adsorption of water in platinum electrochemistry, the surface tension of solids, the Shuttleworth equation and the role of the "reversible cleavage" notion in surface thermodynamics. Remarkably, none of these innovations have been criticized in literature for a very long time (about 10 years).
