Abstract
In this study, a kinetic and morphological study about the palladium (Pd) electrodeposition onto an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) glass electrode was investigated. The electrodeposition was carried out in a plating bath containing 0.01 M PdCl₂ and 1 M KCl at pH 6. The predominance diagrams showed that the dominant chemical species was PdCl₄2⁻. Chronoamperometry was employed to analyze the kinetics of Pd electrodeposits within the potential range of -0.300 to -0.650 V, revealing a progressive nucleation process with high nucleation rate values. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques were employed to characterize Pd electrodeposits on the ITO substrate. At a potential of -0.350 V, dispersed Pd particles were observed, whereas at -0.450 V, the particle density increased. At -0.550 V, a homogeneous deposit was formed, resulting from the overlapping of Pd nuclei.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
