Photopolarographic Behavior of Inorganic Depolarizers

Abstract:
Nickel(II), cobalt(II), and uranium(VI) were studied polarographically to determine the effect of uv-visible irradiation on their reduction characteristics. Photoeffects were observed in all cases. Two mechanisms are proposed for the nickel photokinetic prewave, and the complex photoeffects observed with cobalt and uranium are described. Proposals are made for further studies to clarify and elucidate the photochemical reactions and to apply this technique in the study of the activated states of ions prior to reduction.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
