Electrochemistry of Europium in Aqueous and Aqueous Formamide Solutions

Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of the system Eu(III)/Eu(II) in aqueous formamide solutions was studied by current reversal chronopotentiometry at a mercury pool electrode, in 1 M NaClO₄ The results indicate that double layer effects must be considered rather that ion solvation effects when explaining the influence of formamide on the Eu(III)/Eu(II) electrode reaction.
