Description
Summary:The influence of impurities on the process of electrocrystallization of silver on a silver single crystal has been investigated. Special attention was paid to the effect of inhibition. From a large number of experiments, where the effect of different electrochemical treatments has been observed by in situ optical microscopy, a general model has been developed in which inhibition is thought to be the result of the formation of a blanket of impurities blocking the surface. Probably these impurity effects are important in almost all electrocrystallization experiments on silver.
