6 ) , the process that h20 is adsorbed on the electrode surface and the hydroxyl group is formed to oxidize the co may be the rate - determining step ; in the region iil ( logi > l . 6 ) , all of the tafel curves show a curvature until the current densities reach the peak value , indicative of a possible limiting current . the effect of rare earth elements on methanol electro - oxidation has not been reported in literatures 在低極化區(qū)( logi 1 . 3 ) ,甲醇發(fā)生脫氫反應(yīng)并形成反應(yīng)中間體,其中co成為未被氧化的毒物,此過程成為速率限制步驟;在更高的極化區(qū)( 1 . 3 logi 1 . 6 ) , h _ 2o吸附在電極表面并解離生成[ oh ] ,促進(jìn)了co的氧化,此為此階段速率控制步驟:在第3個(gè)極化區(qū)( 10gi 1 . 6 ) , tafel曲線發(fā)生彎曲,電流密度也最終達(dá)到峰值。
In chemical kinetics, the rate (or velocity) of a reaction mechanism with several steps is often determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step (RDS) or rate-limiting step. The experimental rate equation can help to identify which step is rate-determining.
