Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of copper dissolution in sodium hydroxide were studied on different crystal planes. Differences in the reactivity on the planes (100), (110), and (111) were observed. The differences in the kinetics and mechanism depend on the reaction regime and can be related under certain conditions to the work function.
