Abstract: The anodic process of copper in concentrated NaOHsolutions was studied by potential slow scan and galvanostatic methods,and angle dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.The result shows the second passive film on copper surface is made up of an inner Cu2Olayer followed by a CuO-Cu(OH)2 layer,and CuO/Cu(OH)2 ratio decreases with the probed depth decreasing,whereas adsorbed water increasing.An electrochemical oxidation-surface transition model about the passivating film formation has been proposed.
