Effects of Pre-adsorbed Inert Particles on Deposition of Metal Ions at the Initial Stage of Composite Electrodeposition

doi:10.3901/JME.2021.05.177

Abstract

Abstract: The effect of pre-adsorbed TiO₂ particles on electrodeposition of nickel ions at the initial stage of composite electrodeposition has been studied. It is observed for the first time that pre-adsorbed TiO₂ particles can cause abnormal nucleation and rapid growth of nickel ions at the initial stage of composite electrodeposition. A step-by-step electrodeposition method is proposed, and combined with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the effect of pre-adsorbed TiO₂ particles on nickel ion deposition has been investigated. The results show that the pre-adsorbed TiO₂ particles can increase the density of active sites and reduce the charge transfer resistance on the cathode surface, thereby accelerating the electrocrystallization step of adatoms. Moreover, a physical model of pre-adsorbed inert particles affecting the deposition of metal ions is established. This study provides a possibility of rapid deposition and vertical growth of metal ions, which is of great significance for revealing the mechanism and behavior of co-deposition between inert particles and metal ions in the process of composite electrodeposition.
