Abstract

The overpotential of electrodeposited electrodes can be measured with fair reproducibility. Overpotential is a linear function of the logarithm of the ammonium ion concentration, at constant pH, but not of the logarithm of the apparent current density. It varies much less with the hydrogen ion than with the ammonium ion concentration. When ammonium ion in the electrolyte is replaced by methylammonium, dimethylammonium, or trimethylammonium ion the overpotential is increased. The change of overpotential with temperature was measured. The bearing of the results on the theory of the discharge mechanism is considered.
