CdO auf Cadmiumanoden in Alkalihydroxidlösungen??

Abstract
Anodic films formed potentiostatically in 1M NaOH on Cadmium electrodes were examined by means of electron diffraction under carefully controlled conditions. Glancing incidence electron diffraction indicates the presence of Cd(OH)2 on the electrolyte side of the film and of CdO on the metal side. Transmission electron diffraction of thin isolated films indicates only Cd(OH)2 in films formed below the Flade‐potential of the CdO electrode, but CdO along with Cd(OH)2 above the Flade‐potential. In these films selected area diffraction reveals spots consisting exclusively of a very thin oxid layer.
