The use of a revolving‐cup friction‐measuring apparatus has made possible a study of the adsorption/desorption of ionic species on solid metal/solution interfaces, as a function of applied electrical potential. The results of this study reveal similarities between the friction characteristics at solid metal surfaces and the surface tension of liquid metals under the influence of an applied electrical potential. Specific adsorption and chemisorption of ionic species onto solid metal surfaces can thus be detected from the specific changes in the friction/potential characteristics.
