Galvanostatic nucleation and growth under diffusion control

A theory is proposed for galvanostatic three-dimensional nucleation and growth of new phase clusters controlled by diffusion of depositing ions in the bulk of the electrolyte to the clusters surface. The mathematical model is used to calculate the time dependences of the overpotential, number, and size of clusters formed on the electrode.     

Three-dimensional nucleation and growth under galvanostatic conditions

The nucleation and growth of new phase clusters have been studied under galvanostatic conditions. Time dependences of the overpotential, number, and size of clusters formed on the electrode have been calculated from a model of the electrocrystallization process.     

On the theory of cyclic voltammetry for formation and growth of single metal cluster

The theory of cyclic voltammetry for formation and growth of single metal cluster has been developed. The analytical expressions for cyclic voltammograms and the overpotential dependences of the cluster size have been obtained. The applicability of this theory was discussed.

Theory of cyclic voltammetry for electrochemical nucleation and growth

The theory of cyclic voltammetry for processes of 3D nucleation, diffusion-controlled growth, and dissolution is proposed. The cases of single metal cluster formation and multiple nucleation are studied. The main features of cyclic voltammograms are analyzed: current increase on forward scan during nucleation, nucleation loop, maximum cathode current on reverse scan, and anodic peak of metal stripping.     

Galvanostatic phase formation

The results of a theoretical study on initial stages of electrodeposition under galvanostatic conditions are presented. The model of three-dimensional nucleation and growth under these conditions is developed. This model is used to calculate the times dependences of the overpotential, number of clusters formed on the electrode, and nucleation rate. The peculiarities of nucleation and growth kinetics are analyzed.     

Kinetics of formation of filamentary crystals at electrodeposition

Initial stages of nucleation and growth of filamentary crystals at the electrodeposition is considered. Time dependences of overpotential and the number and the size of filamentary crystals are simulated. The effect of current and electrolyte concentration on the kinetics of nucleation and growth of crystals is studied.
