摘要： 以具有实际应用价值的复合配位体系无氰镀银电解液为研究对象, 运用循环伏安和电位阶跃等实验方法, 结合 Scharifker-Hill 经典理论模型分析, 成功获得了Ag在玻碳电极（GCE）表面电沉积的成核机理及成核动力学参数, 并分析了温度对成核方式及成核动力学参数的影响. 结果表明, 该体系下Ag在GCE表面的电沉积是由扩散控制的不可逆过程, 遵循三维瞬时成核生长机理. 随着阶跃电位从-750 mV 负移至-825 mV, 峰值还原电流Im逐渐增大, 达到峰值还原电流所需时间tm逐渐缩短; 扩散系数D变化不大, 基本稳定在（7.61±0.34）×10^-5 cm²·s^-1; 成核密度数N₀则从3.26 ×10⁵ cm^-2提高至10.2×10⁵ cm^-2. 银沉积初期的形貌观察, 验证了其三维瞬时成核生长机理. 提高温度可以显著改善电解液中具备活性的银配位离子的扩散能力, 缩短成核时间, 提升成核密度数N0.

Abstract:

Cyclic voltammetry and potential step methods were successfully used to study the electrochemical crystallization mechanism of silver deposition on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in the practical cyanide-free silver plating electrolyte containing composite complexing agents. Scharifker-Hill (SH) theory was used to fitting the experimental data. The results showed that the electrodeposition of silver is a diffusion controlled irreversible electrode process according to three-dimensional instantaneous nucleation mechanism. When the step potential shifted from -750 mV to -825 mV, the peak deposition current Im was increased, while the induced nucleation time tm shortened. The calculated kinetic parameters showed that the diffusion coefficient (D) was basically constant, ranged (7.31 ±0.34) ×10-5 cm²·s^-1, and the active nucleation sites density (N₀) increased from 3.26 ±105 cm^-2 to 10.2±105 cm^-2. The morphologies for the initial deposition of Ag verified the three-dimensional instantaneous nucleation mechanism. Increasing the temperature could significantly improve the diffusion ability of the active silver coordination ions in the electrolyte, which shortened the nucleation time and enhanced the active nucleation sites density N₀.

Key words: silver, complex coordination, cyanide-free system, nucleation mechanism, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometric curves
