Abstract The kinetics of the electrodissolution of indium and the hydrogen evolution on indium in H2SO4 of various pH values have been investigated. For electrodissolution, Tafel slopes of 22 mV per decade and a reaction order of 1 with respect to OH− have been obtained. For hydrogen evolution, Tafel slopes were 20 mV per decade; the reaction was first order with respect to H+. An electrodissolution mechanism based on three consecutive one-electron transfer steps with the last electron transfer step rate-determining is consistent with the experimental results.
