L. Makhloufi et al., CEMENTATION OF NI2-SOLUTIONS ONTO A ROTATING ZINC DISC( IONS FROM ACIDIC SULFATE), Electrochimica acta, 43(21-22), 1998, pp. 3159-3164
During cementation of Ni2+ ions onto a zinc electrode, the time-depend
ence of the concentration of Ni2+ ions was studied by atomic absorptio
n spectroscopy. The electrode surface was analyzed by S.E.M. and the s
urface area was measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Th
e cementation is shown to be a first-order reaction which is diffusion
-controlled The reaction rate is strongly affected by the increase in
the electrode surface area with increasing cementation time. (C) 1998
