The results showed that, under the experimental conditions, the deposition of zinc followed the mechanism of two-dimensional nucleation and subsequent grain growth. The addition of H3BO3 into the electroplating solution prominently changes the nucleation and growth kinetics of zinc deposits, which is directly related to the features of electrocrystallization noise and the corresponding structure of the electrodeposits. The results also shown that the electrochemical noise (EN) technique can give more information about the electrodeposits structure and electroplating mechanism than other normal electrochemical measurements can give, such as steady-state polarization method and cyclic voltammetry technique.展开更多

The results shown that, under this experimental conditions and at high overpotentials, the nucleation of zinc is instantaneous, and the nuclear densities N increase with the overpotentials. While at low potentials, no distinguished nucleation current can be observed. High pH promotes the deposition either by drifting the initial depositing potential positively, or by increasing the depositing current through the change of the total charge of the adsorption process Qads, i.e., thevstructure of electrochemical double layer.展开更多
