What Are the Key Parameters in Electrochemical Deposition?
Several parameters can influence the properties of the deposited catalytic layer: - Current Density: Higher current densities can lead to faster deposition rates but may also cause rougher surfaces. - Electrolyte Composition: The concentration of metal ions and additives in the electrolyte can significantly affect the quality of the deposit. - Temperature: Elevated temperatures can increase the rate of deposition and improve the crystallinity of the deposit. - pH Level: The acidity or alkalinity of the electrolyte can influence the deposition mechanism and the properties of the deposited film.
