Abstract
The effect of the solvent nature on the silver electroreduction and electrooxidation, including the initial electrocrystallization stage, is studied. Basic kinetic parameters of the process are determined. With increasing donor number of the solvent, which defines its capability for solvating cations, the rate constant of the electrochemical reaction decreases and the silver nucleation overvoltage increases. With increasing dipole moment of the solvent, which defines its adsorption properties, the surface energy of the silver nucleation decreases. The effect of the solvent on the silver electroreduction reveals itself through its solvation and adsorption properties.
