The effect of the electrolyte temperature and the electrode size on the limiting diffusion current of oxygen ionization solutions

The effect of temperature on the limiting diffusion density of the oxygen ionization current (id) for the electrodes of various diameters (from 1.5 up to 11.4 mm) is studied under the conditions of natural aeration in neutral solutions (pH 5.4-6.6). The theoretical formula of N.D. Tomashev on the id-interconnection with the electrodes linear dimensions within the wide temperature range is experimentally proved. The regular and essential increase in the id-value by decrease in the electrode dimension is established, which is the cause of anomalously high velocities of the metal generation and failure
