Abstract

The electrical response of a self -supported film (CaUP) in contact with different electrolyte media was studied by impedance spectroscopy for electrolyte concentrations ranging between 10−4 M and 10−2 M.The film was placed separating two aqueous solutions of the generating electrolytes, at the same concentrations, and two systems: i) UO2(NO3)2/CaUP/H3PO4; ii)Ca(NO3)2/CaUP/H3PO4, were considered.

The film equivalent circuit and characteristic parameters (Rf and Wf) for both systems were determined. Result show an important dependence of Rf values with concentration, whlckis related to the electrolyte invasion into the film matrix, but no significant changes in Wf values were found. Due to the film nature, the ionic diffusion process associated to this circuit element is mainly attributed to the protons.
