Voltammetric and Surface Conductance Study of the Deposition and Stripping of Mercury on Gold

The voltammetric and surface conductance (SC) responses of thin gold film electrodes during the deposition and stripping of mercury in 0.1 M HC104 solutions have been measured for (i) the potential region corresponding to the underpotential deposition (upd) and stripping (ups), (ii) the formation an...

During the stripping of the alloy, the SC is only sensitive to the surface concentration of the Hg(upd) species. Only a relatively small amount of alloy is stripped off during the stripping cycle. It has been verified that the penetration of the mercury atoms into the bulk depends on the grain boundaries concentration.
