Abstract
An electrochemical cell and relevant electrodes have been carried out in order to study in situ various electrochemical reactions involving iron using57Fe Mössbauer resonance. The electrochemical behaviour of iron in strongly alkaline solution (KOH 5N) in the potential range (−1200<E<−200 mV) has been examined. The introduction of sulfide ions in this electrolyte leads to the formation of a new phase, the mackinawite FeS. Optimized electrochemical conditions for growing a FeS deposit on an iron electrode have been specified.
