“…The nucleation mechanism is again influenced by the presence of organic additives, applied overpotential and the nature of the substrate. Depending on the above factors, an initial stage of electronucleation involves either an instantaneous or a progressive nucleation mechanism [6][7][8][9][10]. In the case of instantaneous nucleation mechanism, all the electrode active sites are occupied by the nuclei at early stages.…”

Electrochemical metal nucleation is the method for the formation of metal nanoparticles on the electrode surface. Studying the early stage of electronucleation is simpler than other methods as the driving force for nucleation is achieved by changing deposition potentials and concentration of metal ions. In this work, the potential step electrochemical deposition of palladium was studied from its chloride solution at room temperature on glassy carbon electrode surface. The nucleation mechanism was studied by analysis of the resulting current transients. Accordingly, the initial electro-nucleation mechanism of palladium nanoparticles was found to be varying depending on deposition conditions such as deposition potential and palladium concentration. It can be changed from 3D instantaneous (for all deposition potentials studied and in higher electrolytic concentration) to 3D progressive nucleation mechanism (for lower deposition potential and lower electrolytic concentration). In addition, the nucleation rate for each deposition potential as well as the concentration has been determined. The nucleation rate in this research is used to calculate the nuclei density and found to decrease from more negative deposition potential to more positive deposition potential in agreement with the observed shift in electronucleation mechanism.

“…Defects due to the (generally) poly-crystalline nature of electrode surfaces, such as grain boundaries, are inevitably present. Investigations of nucleation on electrode surfaces have confirmed that nucleation proceeds from higher energy sites, such as step edges between crystalline planes, 37 thus the density and nature of these sites will affect the dynamic process. Recent electrochemical studies of pyrolytic graphite surfaces, for example, have suggested that there is a considerable difference between the ET rates measured at the basal plane compared to the edge plane of the graphite.…”

“…No information can be found about the basic aspect of the electrochemistry of co-deposition of these two heavy metals. The knowledge of the nucleation and subsequent growth of electrodeposits at the nanometer scale promotes understanding the process as accurately as possible to achieve desired properties and applications, therefore the characterization of the deposited films is essential for any electrochemical removal process to investigate the morphology and mechanism of formation of such deposits [20,21].…”

Cd-Pb thin films were electrodeposited from a diluted chloride solution using stainless steel rotating disc electrode. The linear sweep voltammograms of the single metallic ions show that electrodeposition of these ions was mass transfer control due to the plateau observed for different rotations at concentration (50 and 200 ppm). The voltammograms of binary system elucidate that electrodeposition process always start at cathodic potential located between the potential of individual metals. Currents transients measurements, anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the electrocryatalization process and morphology of thin films. ALSV profiles show a differentiation for the dissolution process of individual metals and binary system. Two peaks of dissolution Cd-Pb film were observed for the binary system with different metal ion concentration ratios. The model of Scharifker and Hills was used to analyze the current transients and it revealed that Cd-Pb electrocrystalization processes at low concentration is governed by threedimensional progressive nucleation controlled by diffusion, while at higher concentration starts as a progressive nucleation then switch to instantaneous nucleation process. AFM images reveal that Cd-Pb film electrodeposited at low concentration is more roughness than Cd-Pb film electrodeposited at high concentrated solution.
