The Effects on the Response of Metal Oxide and Fluorite Single Crystal Electrodes and the Equilibration Process in the Interfacial Region

Inner surface potential, one of the most important variables affecting the interfacial equilibrium of metal oxide aqueous systems, obtained by means of single crystal electrode gives valuable information about electrical charging of the metal oxide/aqueous electrolyte solu¬tion interfaces. The influence of the potential determining ions and ionic strength on the measured electrode potential as well as time of the equilibration, direction of the titration and the effect of the magnetic stirring enables the critical examination of the processes which take place during the interfacial equilibrium. For that purpose, the selected metal oxides (hematite, ceria, sapphire, and rutile) and fluorite single crystal electrodes were examined.
