Abstract

The influence of the double layer on mercury electrodes has
been assessed by examining a large number of depolarizers and
supporting cations. Cross-analysis of the results shows that,
besides the Frumkin mechanism, ion-pairing can be also a significant
factor, either by increasing the local concentration of the
depolarizer, or by enhancing its intrinsic electroactivity. These
effects are correlated to various other types of behavior (electrolytes,
colloids, exchangers) in terms of a common charge interaction
model taking into account structural changes brought to
the solvent.
