Gold electrodeposition has been studied on glassy carbon from Au(I) ammoniacal solution. The current transients obtained from potential step perturbations show a typical metallic nucleation growth controlled by diffusion; this process is influenced by adsorption of the different chemical species on the surface. Diffusion coefficients were calculated for Au(I) at different temperatures. It was also found that the increase in the temperature provokes the modification of the nucleation mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
