- Аннотация: The behavior of electrodes, which are made of binary Au-Ag alloys (Ag content 1–15 at %) and renewed by mechanical cutting in aqueous solutions of sodium fluoride, is studied with the aid of cyclic voltammetry and impedance methods. It is established that, in the region of potentials corresponding to ideal polarizability, the differential capacitance of the electrical double layer rapidly changes with time elapsed after the renewal of the surface of the electrodes. The change in the capacitance is brought about by the exit of silver atoms into a surface layer. The implication is that silver is the surface-active component in these alloys. The rate of the surface segregation of silver atoms depends on the electrode potential. The segregation rate substantially increases upon going into the region that corresponds to positive charges of the silver electrode surface and to the beginning of adsorption of atomic oxygen on the electrode. Based on phenomenological models, a method for processing capacitance curves is realized, which links experimentally observed time effects to variations that occur in the surface composition, and assumptions concerning the mechanism of relaxation processes that are responsible for the observed time effects are put forth. Explicit data on the effect, which is exerted by mechanical renewal on the composition of the surface layer of Au-Ag alloys at different distances from the interface with a vacuum, are obtained with the aid of an x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method. It is established that the surface layer (∼0.5 nm) is enriched by silver atoms as compared with the alloy’s bulk.
