Abstract

a comparative assessment of dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfone adsorption on a smooth platinum electrode in acidic medium in the region of anode potentials is presented. The adsorption isotherms in the “hydrogen” potential range, depending on the dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfone concentration, are S-shaped. At the adsorbate concentrations in the solution exceeding 0.1 M, the surface coverage with dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfone is nearly the same and changes but slightly. A significant difference in the adsorption characteristics of dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfone in the potential region of oxygen adsorption is found. According to the Pt-electrode surface coverage with oxygen in the presence of the test substances, it was concluded that the value of the dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfone adsorption is maximal only when their bulk concentration is higher than 0.1 M, here the oxygen surface coverage in the presence of dimethylsulfone exceeds that in the background solution.
