Electrochemical nucleation and growth of Zn-Ni alloys from chloride citrate-based electrolyte

Effect of thiourea on electrocrystallization of Cu–Sn alloys from sulphate electrolytes

“…Understanding of mechanisms and main kinetic parameters of electrocrystallization of alloys opens wide possibilities to obtain multilayered structures, with both improved corrosion [28,29] and physicomechanical properties [30].…”

Flexible anodic SnO2 nanoporous structures uniformly coated with polyaniline as a binder-free anode for lithium ion batteries

“…24 The surface structure of Sn is rough, primarily due to Sn (the condensed species) having a greater surface energy than the substrate (Cu foil), as explained by the Volmer-Weber growth model. 25 The current density vs. time transient plot recorded during anodization (Figure 1(a)) demonstrates that this process can be divided into three steps. In step I, the current density drops sharply owing to the formation of an oxide barrier layer.…”

Hydrogen bubble-templated electrodeposition of superhydrophobic Zn–Ni films

“…During cathode scanning, the oxidation peak is related to the dissolution of mesophase in different forms of metal ions. The oxidation peaks A and a at 53,54 During reverse scanning, the cathode of the cyclic voltammetry curve in Zn 2+ + Ni 2+ and Zn 2+ + Ni 2+ + Ce 3+ baths intersects at about À1.1 V/SCE with the anode of that, indicating that the Zn-Ni films begin to nucleate. Compared with the baths without cerium ions, the current density of the reduction peak in the baths containing cerium ions is higher, which promotes the precipitation of hydrogen.…”

“…The reduction of zinc ions can be catalysed by Zn ads + , leading to the preferential deposition of zinc ions in films. 54 3.4 Total reflection and self-cleaning performance Fig. 6(a and b) show the digital images of the LA43M substrate and the superhydrophobic Zn-Ni films in the sodium chloride solution (3.5 wt%).…”
