SIMS / XPS studies of the passive film on nickel

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

Passive films were formed on nickel in borate buffer solution (pH 8.4) at various anodic potentials. XPS and SIMS techniques were used to determine the passivating species present on the surface film. It is shown that the film formed at low passivating potentials consists of Ni (OH)2 and NiO, and the film formed preceding oxygen evolution consists mainly of Ni2O3.
