Formation of Gases from a Substance in an Aqueous Solution that Functioning as a Liquid Electrolyte Cathode

Gas discharges excited above a liquid electrolytic cathode were experimentally investigated. Aqueous solutions of sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide and copper sulfate with concentrations of 0.1–0.2 mol/L, as well as aqueous solutions containing organic compounds were used as cathodes. The patterns of gas formation from the cathode substance have been revealed. The studies were conducted in the current range of 100–180 mA.
