SummaryStudies were made of copper, electrodeposited on to the (100) plane of copper from highly purified solutions of copper sulphate containing known concentrations of iodide ions. For low concentration electrolytes and at low current densities there is a decrease of distance between growth layers. At high current densities and concentrations of iodide ions, there is pitting and the surface corrodes badly.
SummaryObservations were made of silver electrodeposited onto the (111) plane of a silver single crystal from a complex cyanide bath. In the presence of chloride ions the growth habit of the silver is modified for deposition at low current densities, i.e. at 2 and 5 mA cm-2. At 7.5 and 10 mA cm-2 the deposit is nodular and rough in the presence of chloride ions. At 15 mA cm-2 high chloride ion concentrations produce cathodic hydrogen evolution, resulting in a fern-like deposit.
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.
