The validity of the general polarization curve equation approximation for the process of metal deposition

Abstract

Digital simulation was employed for the solution of the general polarization curve equation of metal deposition processes. By approximating the dependence of the exchange current density on concentration with a linear function for one- and two-electron transfer processes, an error lower than 20 % was obtained.
