Kinetics of the hydrogen electrode reaction on gold in acid sulphate melts

The hydrogen-electrode reaction on gold prepared in different ways has been investigated in molten acid sulphates at temperatures from ca 180 to 345°C. Potentiostatic and galvanostatic measurements under steady conditions were performed and the evolution of the potential of the working electrode whe...
