STUDY OF THE ELECTROLYTIC LIBERATION OF HYDROGEN ON TITANIUM BY DIRECT AND ALTERNATING-CURRENT METHODS

The polarization characteristic and frequency dependences of the impedance (frequency range 0. 11-10 kHz) of electrodes of titanium VT1-00 and 0. 1-2 N H//2SO//4 and 0. 1-4 N HCl were measured. A scheme of the liberation of hydrogen on titanium, considering the penetration of part of the atomic hydrogen into the metal, is proposed. It is suggested that the rate of electrolytic liberation of hydrogen on titanium, considering the penetration of part of the atomic hydrogen into the metal, is proposed. It is suggested that the rate of electrolytic liberation of hydrogen on Ti is limited by the step of electrochemical desorption.
