FORMATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRODE DEPOSIT

Theoretical analysis of potentiostatic metal electrodeposition with fo rmation of a three-dimensional ''thick'' coating is performed. Time de pendences of a consumed charge, the current, and the electrode surface coverage with the deposited precipitate are obtained. Similar experim ental curves should offer an opportunity to determine basic kinetic pa rameters of the new phase nucleation and discharge of depositing parti cles. Current peaking during deposition is studied.
