Influence of insulating electrode coatings on the electrical conduction of cyclohexane

The electrical conduction of cyclohexane between metal electrodes electrochemically coated with thin films of alumina or polyphenyleneoxide is studied. The weak injection, observed at short times after a DC voltage is applied, is similar for coated and uncoated electrodes. It is shown that the injected ions are created in the liquid. After long times of voltage application, a large increase in liquid conduction is caused by a strong injection from the coating.<
