A Monte Carlo Model for the Simulation of the Electrodeposition of CoNi Alloysonto Glassy Carbon

摘要

It is known that the physical properties and morphology of an electrodeposit strongly depend on several parameters of the electrodeposition process, such as solution composition, pH, temperature, potential and current density (1). Therefore, electrodeposition requires an adequate control of the electrochemical phase formation process and a deep understanding of the reaction mechanism to produce an electrodeposit with desired properties. Particularly, the first stages of the electrodeposition play a very important role on the subsequent formation of the bulk metallic phase. So, it is very important for one to have an adequate control and knowledge of the first stages of electrodeposition to obtain a deposit with the desired physical and structural properties.
