Electrochemical nucleation and growth of copper on polycrystalline palladium

The electrochemical nucleation of copper on palladium has been investigated by applying the potential step technique. The nucleation process was found to be progressive and interpretation of current-time transients over a wide overpotential interval made it possible to determine the overpotential de...

Description
Summary:The electrochemical nucleation of copper on palladium has been investigated by applying the potential step technique. The nucleation process was found to be progressive and interpretation of current-time transients over a wide overpotential interval made it possible to determine the overpotential dependence of the steady state nucleation rate, the size of the critical nucleus and the work of nucleation.
