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...
