The Establishment of Current Transient of Nucleation and Growth under Diffusion-Controlled Electrocrystallisation: A Microreview

Abstract

In this microreview, the importance of electrochemical phase formation is outlined. Further, the establishment of current transition during electrochemical nucleation and growth is explored. First, the microreaction kinetic process of electrocrystallisation and the rate-controlling steps of electrodeposition are carefully discussed. Then, the current transient formulation under electrochemical polarisation-controlled electrocrystallisation is summarised. Finally, a summary of the process for calculating the current transient formulation of nucleation and growth under diffusion-controlled electrocrystallisation is explained in detail.
