A two‐chamber galvanic cell enabled the simultaneous study of both oxidation and reduction processes involved in electroless copper deposition. The standing electrode potentials as well as the coupled electrode potentials were measured in the catholyte (
CuSO4
,
normalNaOH
, Rochelle salt) and in the anolyte (
HCHO
,
normalNaOH
, Rochelle salt). The current passing during coupling was dependent on coupling time, catholyte and anolyte compositions, and the activation of the anode. The order of the deposition process as calculated from the coupling current compared favorably with that obtained by direct weight measurements. Evan's diagrams were constructed and used to correlate electrode potential, coupling current, and the mixed potential with the rate of the electroless deposition process.
Mit Hilfe einer galvanischen Zweikammerzelle gelingt die simultane Untersuchung der Oxidations‐ und Reduktions‐ Vorgänge bei der stromlosen Cu‐Abscheidung.
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.
