Abstract
By using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) techniques, the thermodynamics and kinetics of palladium electrodeposition on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in deep eutectic solvent were studied. The Pd electrodeposition process via progressive 3D nucleation mechanism was controlled by the diffusion. Non-linear fitting methods were applied to obtain the kinetic parameters in the light of Harrison – Thirsk (H-T) and Scharifker – Hills (S-H) models for 3D nucleation and growth process. From that, the diffusion coefficient of Pd (II) in reline at ambient temperature was calculated by two different ways, and the obtained results showed that it is of cm2/s by using CV. Moreover, some important parameters such as the number density of active sites on the electrode surface (No) and the nucleation frequency per active site (A) were estimated by fitting experimental CAs data with Scharifker-Mostany model.
