A study of the electrochemical behaviour of cobalt in aqueous H<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>/HCO<sub>3</sub><sup></sup>/CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2</sup> solutions at pH 79
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of a cobalt rotating electrode in H2CO3/HCO3/CO32 aqueous solutions was investigated in the pH region from 7 to 9. The effects of H2CO3/HCO3/CO32 concentration, pH, and the presence of phosphates as inhibitors was explored using a rotating disc electrode at 1000 rpm. Some potentiodynamic experiments indicate that for pH 8.5 and higher, carbonate and bicarbonate species play a key role on the rate of electrooxidation of cobalt. For pH lower than 8.5, the electrochemical behaviour of cobalt changes drastically and very aggressive corrosion is observed. The involvement of carbonic acid must be considered in the corrosion process of cobalt in this pH region. The study of passive film potential decay under open circuit potential and galvanostatic reduction was performed on preanodized cobalt electrodes in solutions of various compositions. These experiments indicated the phenomena occurring at the electrodesolution interface during the corrosion process. A mechanism involving competitive adsorption of different species is suggested on the basis of the experimental evidence.Key words: cobalt, bicarbonate, phosphate, carbonic acid, corrosion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
