Abstract

Initial process of electrolysis is investigated using platinum and tungsten wires as hydrogen electrodes and inductive kickback voltage peak based power unit. Microelectrodes are used to determine concentrations of dissolved hydrogen and pH close to wire electrodes. It is observed that concentration of dissolved hydrogen increases faster on tungsten electrode as on platinum. Authors explain this fact with differences of hydrogen evolution reaction on both materials - inductive kickback voltage peak power unit is supplying very short voltage pulses with limited energy what is enough only for hydrogen adsorption on platinum electrode, but is sufficient for full hydrogen evolution reaction on tungsten electrode.
