Gas-Evolving Electrodes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Treatise of Electrochemistry ((CTE))

Abstract

In a large number of relevant industrial processes, gases are generated by electrochemical reactions. Processes linked to the evolution of gas exhibit some characteristics which are not typical of electrode processes in general. Gas bubbles develop at bubble nuclei, grow in size, finally break off, and rise in the liquid, thus providing a locally nonsteady-state condition. A detailed knowledge of the events at gas-evolving electrodes is necessary for a quantitative treatment of mass transfer and, closely connected with it, of heat transfer. On the other hand, charge transport within bubble-filled electrolytes is of considerable practical interest. These three aspects form the main subject matter of this chapter.
