Depolarization by Mercaptoacetic Acid During Electrodeposition of Copper

Abstract: Mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) in acid copper sulphate electrolyte decreased the cathode polarization throughout the course of electrolysis a t all concentrations LIP t o 20 mgm./liter. Addition of small amounts of chloride caused further depolarization. When present together with cystine, WIAA showed an independence of action. The depolarization caused by WIAA was ascribed to a decreased activation overpotential due t o substitution of a more readily dischargeable MAA-copper complex for the aquo-copper complex.

“…Literature [14] reports that the presence of Cl Ϫ depolarizes the cathode potential that is assumed to be due to the ready discharge of the Cu 2ϩ -Cl Ϫ complex at the cathode. It would be reasonable to assume the formation (and involvement) of a transient complex in the present case, because complexes involving sulfite ions and copper [22] and other bivalent metal ions [23] are known; the stability constant for a complex arising from Cu 2ϩ (aq) and sulfite ion is also reported.…”

“…However, the cathodic aspects of copper deposition have received comparatively less attention in the presence of anode depolarizers. A few studies [14][15][16][17] report on the cathodic depolarization in copper deposition in the presence of some inorganic and organic compounds. In our earlier communication, [6,8] studies on some aspects of the anodic behavior of several added depolarizers such as H 2 SO 3 , Co 2ϩ (aq), or both, have been carried out on graphite anode.…”
