Abstract:A b s t r a c tThe thermodynamic and kinetic peculiarities of metal nucleation under galvanostatic conditions are considered. The alternative expressions for supersaturation in electrochemical systems in terms of overall overpotential (Kaischew, Budevski, Malev, Polukarov, de Levi at al.) or crystallization overpotential (Fischer, Volmer, Schottky, Vetter, Lorenz, Gerischer at al.) are discussed. It is shown that incorrect use of expression for supersaturation in terms of overall overpotential leads some autho… Show more
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.
