Abstract
The analysis of the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results are consistent with a nickel electrodissolution process limited by the passage of Ni(I) to Ni(II), when chloride ions are present in the acid sulfate medium, or by the passage of Ni(II) to in solution, in absence of chloride. This interpretation allows an explanation of the potential evolution of Fdm/dQ values in both experimental conditions by assuming the formation of a new phase on the electrode surface with a gel-like structure placed between the metal and the solution. Ni(I) surface concentration is calculated from the instantaneous mass/charge Fdm/dQ values.
