Spectral analysis of potential fluctuations on electrolytic gas evolution

The potential fluctuations observed under current control during gas evolution were analyzed by statistic histogram and FFT spectral analysis. Potential fluctuation signals were processed by means of program coded with MatLab and its signal processing toolbox. Calculated power spectral densities (PSDs) were used to analyze bubble behaviors occurring at a platinum disk microelectrode of 100um and 1 mm in diameter during galvanostatic polarization. Some characteristic parameters of the gas evolution, such as the average number of detached bubbles per time unit, the average radius of detached bubble and the mean volume of bubble, were derived from measured PSD of potential fluctuation. The results show that useful information related to bubble behaviors on interface of electrode/electrolyte can be obtained by histogram and FFT spectral analysis, which can be applied to investigate the electrolytic bubble occurring within electrochemical reactor.
