“…STM-based studies of Ag single-crystal facets revealed the dynamics of underpotential deposition (UPD), overpotential deposition (OPD), as well as multilayer growth, which has provided a basis for models of nucleation and growth. 28–31 Liu et al measured Ag + ion deposition onto Ag-disk electrodes, and found slower kinetics than others found in water, although because of complications associated both with the uncertain microscopic structure of the electrodes studied, and the many underlying assumptions implicit in the analytical models used to analyze the resulting voltammograms, 32 we are hesitant to directly compare to the kinetic parameters here (ESI, Note 6) †. Thus, remarkably, there have been no direct measurements of the kinetic parameters and energy barriers specifically for the ion-transfer step, i.e.…”
