Abstract
Cathodic electrosynthesis of RuO2 deposits on Ni, Ti, Pt foils and Si wafers was accomplished via hydrolysis by an electrogenerated base, Ru Cl3 . xH(2)O, dissolved in water. By varying the current density and d eposition time, the amount of the deposited material could be controll ed. The deposits were characterized by XRD, TG/DTA and SEM. The crysta llization behavior of the deposits was studied. Crystallite sizes were determined after annealing at different temperatures from X-ray broad ening data.
