Abstract
Stability of electrochemical hydrogen charging to iron during potentiostatic polarization in a 3 wt% NaCl aqueous solution containing NH4SCN was investigated using electrochemical hydrogen permeation tests. The hydrogen absorption rate remained stable when the specimen was polarized at potentials of −0.9 V (vs. Ag/AgCl (3.33 M KCl)), −1.1 V, or −1.3 V. However, at polarization potential of −1.6 V, the hydrogen absorption rate fluctuated considerably over time. This fluctuation was attributed to changes in solution chemistry, where the proton concentration increased and the SCN– concentration decreased because of the oxidation reaction of SCN– on the Pt counter electrode.
