An investigation was conducted on the reaction mechanism of palladium electrodeposition from ethylenediamine-palladium (II) complex solutions, and on the effect of thallium. Cathodic current-potential curves that were free from concentration overvoltage η
c were obtained using a rotating disk electrode. The slope of the Tafel relation was about 0.10V⋅decade
-1 in the potential range of -0.60- -0.80V (SCE), and the charge transfer coefficient α and activation energy
EAC of the discharge process were determined to be 0.37 and 55.52kJ/mol, respectively. Thallium was deposited on the electrode and acted as active sites for palladium electrodeposition. The follow electrodeposition mechanism is proposed
T1
+→T1(≡A)
Pd(en)
22+soln+A_??_Pd(en)
0.52+ads⋅A+3/2en
Pd(en)
0.52+ads⋅A+2e_??_Pd
ads⋅A+1/2en
Pd
ads⋅A→Pd
crys+A
and/or
Pd
ads⋅A→Pd
crys⋅A
That is to say, electrodeposition of Pd(en)
22+ proceeded through Pd(en)
0.52+ as an intermediate, and it is thought thet tha discharge of this intermediate is the rate determining process.
