Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun
Journal of Electrochemistry
A two-layered structure of eutectic-solid sulotion is formed in the microstructure of Pb-Sn alloy obtained from quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition.It is showed that this unique structure is caused by the variation of the current density on the growth interface.When the interface is located in the front of the whole deposits,the current density is high.So the Pb and Sn can deposit together and the eutectic texture forms.When the interface is in the rear of the whole deposits,the current density is low.At this moment the electrodeposition of Pb is the dominant reaction,and the Pb-based solid solution appears.

A Conjugate Dissolution/Deposition Behavior In Thin Layer Electrodeposition, Sun Bin, Xian-Wu Zou, Zhun-Zhi Jin
Journal of Electrochemistry
During the electrodeposition of lead, the dendrite deposit segregates from the cathode due to the disturbance of hydrogen gas. The segregated deposit could move toward the anode spontaneously rather than keep stationary. The studies show that this novel phenomenon was caused by the conjugate electrodissolution and electrodeposition reactions taking place at two ends of the isolated segment of the deposit. The mechanism inducing this phenomenon is suggested.

Studies On The Cathodic Current Efficiency In The Electrodeposition Ni-Psz Gradient Coating, Jun Li, Dianlong Wang, Li Chen, Xinguo Hu
Journal of Electrochemistry
The cathodic current efficiency and the electrochemical behavior in electrodeposition Ni-PSZ gradient coating were investigated by various electrochemical techniques and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the Ni-PSZ composite coatings can accelerate evolution of hydrogen with the increase of PSZ content.
