An Optical Impedance Investigation of a Gold Electrodeposition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper in situ visible electroreflectance measurements have been carried out in order to extract new electrochemical information from the dependence of R/R on the frequency of potential modulation. The behaviour of some typical components of a Au electrodeposition bath has been investigated: a metal salt (KAu(CN)2), a supporting electrolyte (NaClO4), a metal cation complexing agent (KCN). The voltammetric behaviour of the relevant systems has been investigated by means of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectrometry (EIS). The optical and current density dynamics have been compared applying a potential square-wave modulation with frequencies in the range 1÷300 Hz and have been found to exhibit clearly different time-constants. Sensitivity to the electrolyte chemistry and radiation-wavelength have been proved for optical impedance.

Herein, gold nanoparticle had been successfully synthesized through a simple, inexpensive and clean electrochemical technique. Gold nanoparticles were directly deposited on the electrode surface using an electrochemical strategy. Then, the electrochemical deposition parameters (such as applied potential and deposition time) were optimized. 1.1 V and 250 s were applied as the optimal electrodepo...
