The Mechanism of Water-Soluble Polymer Аdditives and Parameters of the Pulse Electrolysis Effect on the Size Distribution of the Electrolytic Copper Powder

Abstract:

The principles of pulse electrolysis modes selection and their effect on the size distribution of the powder electrolytic copper in electrolyte with additions of water-soluble polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyacrylamide (PAA) are considered in the paper. The research conducted with use of chronopotentiometry and potential transients as well as a simulation model of the electrocrystallisation process showed that the values of pulse duration were greater than the transient time of electroactive species and the pause duration equal to the linear part of potential transient was optimum to obtain a powder with a predominant fraction of nanoscale particles . PVP and PAA additives help to reduce the average particle size in the nanoscale fraction copper powder particles to 25-40 nm. Selected current pulse mode effect corresponds to the reduction of the emergence of new centers of crystallization probability and the adatoms on the surface of the cathode movement probability.
