Aluminum Deposition and Nucleation on Nitrogen-Incorporated Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon Electrodes in Ambient Temperature Chloroaluminate Melts

Abstract: The electrodeposition of aluminum on the atomically smooth nitrogen-incorporated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (taC:N) electrode in ambient temperature AlCl 3 /EMIC chloroaluminate melts has been interpreted using a prior model of three-dimensional diffusion controlled nucleation and growth. Aluminum requires an unusually high overpotential for nucleation on taC:N because of the low density of intrinsic active sites, which act as critical nuclei during the initial stage of deposition. The current-time character… Show more

“…The two limiting cases of this model are instantaneous nucleation and progressive nucleation. In general, a better method for distinguishing the two nucleation models is to compare the dimensionless experimental current‐time transients with dimensionless theoretical transients for each nucleation mechanism,61, 62 which is given as follows:…”

“…As the molar concentration of niacinamide increases in the range of 0−12 mmol/kg, the decrease in the average grain size of crystals is probably ascribed to the enhanced adsorption of niacinamide on the surface of the aluminium nuclei. Nevertheless, niacinamide might reach saturation at the electrode interface with molar concentrations higher than 12 mmol/kg, resulting in the overpotential deposition of aluminium and lower nucleation density [34]. In such a case, the subsequent excessive overlapping growth of deposits leads to larger aluminium crystals.…”

“…It is obvious that current density plays an important role in the morphology of aluminium deposits. Considering the instantaneous nucleation process of aluminium in ionic liquid, all the nuclei are generated at the beginning of the electrodeposition [34]. It can be inferred that the density of the aluminium nuclei is enhanced with current density rising from 3 to 6 mA/cm 2 , which facilitates the smooth and uniform growth of crystals [12,27].…”
