Hydrogen in electrodeposits : of decisive importance, but much neglected

Abstract

Because water is the base of most electrolytes the electroplater must handle, hydrogen's influence on the properties of various layers in the electrodeposition process is very important. How and why this is true will be discussed in this, an edited version of the 34th William Blum Lecture, presented by the author at the Opening Session of SUR/FIN® '93-Anaheim
