The influence of additive [3-(2-furyl) acrolein] on zinc electrodeposition in acid sulphate solution was studied using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and atomic force microscopy emphasising on the nucleation mechanism. The experimental and theoretical modelling results revealed that zinc electrocrystallisation is under a progressive nucleation process in the presence of 3-(2-furyl) acrolein. The obtained Zn coating layers showed a morphology of smooth, compact and fined grain structure.
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.
