Electrochemical behaviour of silver in aqueous chromate solutions

Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of silver was studied under cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry conditions in aqueous K2CrO4 solutions. The forward cyclic voltammograms exhibited one oxidation peak, A1, due to the formation of Ag2CrO4. The height of the anodic peak, A1, increases with increasing chromate concentration, temperature, and scan rate. The solid films formed on the anode surface have been examined by X-ray diffractometry.
The reverse voltammograms exhibited two reduction peaks, C1 and C2, indicating the formation of two distinct surface layers of Ag2CrO4, an inner compact layer reduced in peak C1 and an outer powdery layer reduced in peak C2.
