Mechanism of oscillatory electrodeposition of zinc, revealed by microscopic inspection of dendritic deposits during the oscillation
Electrodeposition of Zn shows a potential oscillation in a diffusion-limited current region, accompanied by dendritic deposits. Detailed microscopic investigations of the deposits during one cycle of the oscillation have revealed a new mechanism including autocatalytic Zn growth, which is closely related to Mullins-Sekerka instability.
