Description The adsorption of cetyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (CDBACl) on the mercury electrode is studied in varieous supporting electrolytes at varieous temperatures from 1 to 50 degC. A condensed film with low capacitance is formed at negative potentials at transition temparatures below approximately 40 degC. The decrease of the temperature favors the film formation, and increases the width of the capacitance pit, while its value remains practically constant. Hysteresis phenomena are also observed during different scan directions.
