The kinetics of the electrodeposition of CdTe from an aqueous solution containing CdSO4, TeO2 and H2SO4 were investigated by using a rotating ring-disc electrode. The results for tellurium deposition alone indicated that the reaction occurs through a six-electron reduction of HTeO2+ to H2Te, followed by a reaction between H,2Te and HTeO2+ yielding tellurium. At HTeO2+ concentrations greater than 10-3 M, the second step of this process is very fast and the overall reaction behaves as a four-electron reduction of HTeO2+ to Te: only at lower HTeO2+ concentrations was evidence observed for the six-electron reduction. The electrodeposition of CdTe occurs through two possible pathways: Cd2+ ions can react with H2Te produced during the reduction of HTeO2+ and thus yield CdTe, or tellurium deposited on the electrode can react with Cd2+ to yield CdTe. The two reactions compete with the deposition of pure tellurium. Conditions to deposit stoichiometric CdTe are suggested.

Two types of oxide nanosheet-based materials, a H3O+-exchanged layered titanate and restacked titania nanosheets (H3O+-RE) were synthesized by soft chemical methods, and their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities were examined by semi-steady-state voltammetry with a rotating ring-disc electrode at 70°C in 0.05 M H2SO4. Both samples showed similar onset potentials of the ORR, ~ 0.50 vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, while the efficiencies (Eff4) of the 4-electron reduction of oxygen depended on their nanostructures, i.e. the stacking morphology of nanosheets, specific surface area and kinds of cation between the nanosheets. Both H3O+-form samples showed high Eff4 values are compared with Cs+-form layered titanate.and the H+-form restacked titania nanosheets. This reveals that the H3O+ions and the number of the active sites for ORR are related to the ORR activity. The H3O+-RE exhibited the best Eff4 value (> 90%), which is comparable to that of a conventional 20 mass% Pt/C catalyst.

The kinetics of the reactions of iron(III) with 6-methyl-2,4-heptanedione and 3,5-heptanedione to form the corresponding monocomplexes have been studied spectrophotometrically in the range 5 °C to 16 °C at I 25 mol l-1 in aqueous solution. In the proposed mechanism for the two complexes, the enol form reacts with the metal ion by parallel acid-independent and inverse-acid paths. The kinetic constants for both pathways have been calculated at five temperatures. Activation parameters have also been calculated. The results are consistent with an associative activation for Fe(H2O)63+ and dissociative activation for Fe(H2O)5(OH)2+. The differences in the results for the complexes of heptanediones studied are interpreted in terms of steric factors.

The kinetics of the liquid-like → solid-like 2D phase transition of adenine adsorbed at the Hg/aqueous solution interface is studied. Attention is focused on the effect of temperature on the rate of phase change; an increase in temperature is found to cause a decrease of transition rate.
