Electrodeposition in highly viscous media: Experiments and simulations
Electrolyte viscosity plays an important role in ion transport. Here we study the effects of high viscosity variations in thin-layer electrochemical deposition (ECD) under constant-current conditions through experimental measurements and theoretical modelling. The viscosity was varied through glycer...

Electrolyte viscosity plays an important role in ion transport.

The theoretical model, written in terms of dimensionless quantities, describes diffusive, migratory and convective ion transport in a fluid under constant-current conditions. Experiments reveal that as viscosity increases, convection decreases, while concentration gradients increase. These effects are more pronounced when the current increases.
