摘要
Bubbles evolving from electrode surface are the results of the multi-processes, interfacial mass transfer, chemical reaction, micro fluid flow, etc. In this paper, the investigations on the bubble growth mechanism during photoelectrochemical and electrochemical conversions are carried out. The experimental results show two different growth laws during photoelectrochemical and electrochemical conversions, which are chemical reaction and diffusion controlled respectively, caused by the difference in the effective surface area of the electrode. And mathematical models for bubble growth describing the two effects are established. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
