Kinetics of Ni-Nano Cr2O3 Composite Coating during Early Electro-Crystallization Processes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nucleation kinetics of Ni-nanoCr2O3 composite coating during early electro-crystallization was investigated. The results showed that, the early electro-crystallization processes of Ni-nanoCr2O3 composite coating and pure Ni coating followed a Scharifker-Hill nucleation/growth mechanism. At the low potential, the nucleation process of pure Ni and Ni-Cr2O3 composite system may approach to the progressive nucleation model; With the overpotential increasing, the nucleation model of Pure Ni and Ni-Cr2O3 composite system converts into the instantaneous nucleation mechanism controlled; at the same overpotential, Cr2O3 powder promotes the electro-crystallization nucleation of Ni. But at high negative potential, Cr2O3 powder in composite system promotes the electro-crystal nucleation of Ni weakly; the nanoCr2O3 powder added reduces the current efficiency in the nucleation process of Ni.
