The Establishment of Current Transient of Nucleation and Growth under Diffusion-Controlled Electrocrystallisation: A Microreview

“…This theory provides direct tools and a detailed theoretical basis for researchers to study the microscopic dynamic process of electrodes by using the current transient of electrode surfaces. It is extremely important for the dynamic study of electrode process and has been widely applied to electroplating research, such as Al [58], Bi [59], Cu [60][61][62][63], CuIn x Ga 1−x Se 2 [64], Li [65,66], Mg [67], Na [68], Ni [69][70][71], Ag [72][73][74][75], Pb [76,77], Pb-Pt Alloy [78], Pt [79,80], Si [81], WO 3 [82], Zn [83][84][85], Au [86], Ni-Se-Cu Alloy [87] and Au-Co Alloy [88,89]. However, certain deviations between the theoretical model [57] described by Equation (11) and the actual test curves were reported in experimental works [90,91].…”
