Electrolyte composition:100 gdm3 NaOH & 190 gdm3 NaCl, pH14. provided then, DC power anode cathode Anode: Cl2 = Cl− - e− Cathode: H2 = H+ + e− Reversible potentials Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
DC power app anode cathode anodic reaction:Cl− − e−→Cl2, cathodic reaction: H+ + e− →H2; The magnitude of the deviation of the electrode potential from the equilibrium value ris termed as the overpotential , defined as Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
Additional potentials originate from (1) ohmic drops (2) polarization of electrodes In reality anode potential more positive; cathode potential more negative. Defining the overpotentials as a = a,ir a,r > 0 c = c, r c,ir > 0 Vapp = Er + IR + a +c Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
Overpotentials may originate from: (1) diffusion (concentration) overpotential caused by concentration difference. r = 0 - (RT/F) ln (1/C) ir = 0 - (RT/F) ln (1/Cs) d = ir - r = (RT/F) ln (C/Cs) if Cs < C, d> 0 (overpotential) Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
(2) ohm overpotential caused by surface films formed on electrode (3) activation overpotential to overcome the activation energy of the rate determining step Usually, overpotentials are smaller for metal deposition, but larger for gas evolution. Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
(2) Overpotential for hydrogen evolution Mechanisms for hydrogen evolution (1) Diffusion of H3O+ to electrode surface (2) M + H3O+ + e - M-H + H2O (3)-i M-H + M-H 2M + H2 -ii M-H + H3O+ + e - M + H2+ H2O (4) Desorption of H2 from electrode surface. Department of Chemistry, Fudan University

Application of overpotentials metallic deposition and hydrogen overpotential 0.1 m ZnSO4,cathodic electrolysis of Cu,pH=7,H2 evolution or Zn depostion? 2H+ + 2e = H2 Zn2+ + 2e = Zn Deposition of Zn prefers (in the absence of overpotential, evolution of H2 occurs) Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
Another important application of overpotential is the industrial fabrication of Na by taking use of the very high overpotential of H2 evolution on Hg electrode, the low overpotential for the formation of Na amalgam. Na+ discharges at a Hg electrode (0.2%Na amalgam) at -1.83V,the theoretical discharge potential for H+is -0.84V,the overpotential of H2 evolution on Hg is -1.35V, the practical potential for H2 evolution is -2.2V, indicates much higher difficulty in discharging H+ than Na+ on Hg electrode. After discharge, the resulting Na amalgam flows to a de-amalgaming chamber and reacts with H2O to form NaOH and H2, i.e., 2Na(Hg) + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 + 2Hg Department of Chemistry, Fudan University

㈡ Metal electrodeposition 1. Electrodeposition of metals in the presence of H+ More positive reduction electrode potential for a metal, easier its electrodepostion. (1) Provided the reversible electrode potential for M/Mn+ is far more positive than that for H2/H+ , and the overpotential for the former is very small, then only metal can be electrodeposited. (2) Provided the reversible electrode potential for M/Mn+ is far more negative than that for H2/H+ , and the overpotential for the former is large, then only hydrogen evolution occurs. Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
第二十五章 电化学动力学及其应用 (3) the reversible electrode potential for M/Mn+ is much more positive than that for H2/H+ , but with a large overpotential. At a certain current density, the cathodic potential can be more negative than the reversible potential of H2/H+, hence the hydrogen evolves. (4) the reversible electrode potential for M/Mn+ is very negative with a moderate overpotential for its deposition and accompanied with a very high overpotential for hydrogen evolution, At a high current density favors metal deposition more than hydrogen evolution. Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
2. Codeposition of metals (1) Close standard electrode potentials with small overpotentials facilitate the codeposition of two metals from their salt solution, only a slight adjustment of ion activities is needed. (2) Difference between two standard electrode potentials is large but can be compensated by the discharge overpotentials of their cations. (3) Differences in standard electrode potentials and the discharge overpotentials are to be compensated by changing the activities of metal ions. Department of Chemistry, Fudan University
