Adsorption of thiourea (TU) and ethylthiourea(ETU) on roughened silver electrode was investigated using in- situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS).Using quantum chemistry and HSAB theories, the influences of electrode potential and the different substituent groups on SERS were discussed. TU is chemisorbed perpendicularly by Ag-S bond on silver at E=-0.3 V and adsorption of TU turns into a parallel orientation at E=-0.9 V. ETU is always chemisorbed at an angle from Ag. The adsorption of ETU is through C=C andC=O groups at E=-0.3 V, and mainly through C=C at E=-0.9V.
The influence of Cl- concentration and acidity to the polarization curves of iron electrode is measured. The kinetic paramters of the anodic and cathodic process of iron electrode is obtained. And the corresponding reaction mechanisms is suggested. The thoeretical values of corrosion paramters are in agreement with the experimental values.
