Interfacial Reactions in the System of MnTe-H2O

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thermodynamically possible reactions in MnTe-H2O system at room temperature have been studied. The potential–pH diagram has been plotted assuming quasi-equilibrium on interfacial boundary. The possible mechanism of formation and the composition of a surface in dependence on electrode potential and pH have been discussed and the stable conditions for manganese telluride, i.e. the specific area in the diagram (pH from −2 to 14 and potential from −1.5…− 1.1 to −0.9…−0.6 V) have been found. The obtained results may help optimize the conditions for electodeposition of manganese telluride thin films and for liquid chemical etching for the formation of interfacial boundaries.
