We address the interfacial segregation at the alloy electrodes (the enrichment of their surface with certain components) in the context of the phase diagrams of these alloys. We compare the kinetics of the spontaneous segregation at the renewable alloy/vacuum and alloy/solution interfaces. We stady the effect of interfacial segregation on the kinetics of electrode reactions at alloys, and model the experimentally observed non-steady-state behavior. |
