Abstract: | Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been applied for investigation of the hydrogen evolution kinetics at the electrochemically
polished Bi(001) plane, and the complicated reaction mechanism (slow adsorption and charge-transfer steps) has been established.
The charge-transfer resistance and adsorption capacitance values depend noticeably on the electrode potential applied. The
adsorption resistance is maximal in the region of electrode potential E
min = −0.65 V vs. (Hg|Hg2Cl2|4 M KCl), where the minimal values of constant phase element (CPE) coefficient Q have been calculated. The fractional exponent α
CPE values of the CPE close to unity (α
CPE ≥ 0.94 and weakly dependent on the electrode potential and pH of solution () have been obtained, indicating the weak deviation of Bi(001)|HClO4 + H2O interface from the ideally flat capacitive electrode. Q differs only very slightly from double-layer capacitance C
