Abstract
The anodic evolution of Iodine from solid α‐AgI was studied in the solid‐state cell Ag/AgI/I2(g), Graphite at different I2‐pressures and temperatures. A single pulse galvanostatic technique was used. The kinetic parameters obtained allowed the postulation of a fast discharge‐slow recombination (at low coverage) reaction mechanism. A dependence of the exchange current density upon the iodine partial pressure was found and interpreted on the basis of the postulated mechanism. A sort of “anode effect” was found.
