A study of the kinetics and mechanisms of electrocrystallization of indium oxide on an in situ prepared metallic indium electrode
The mechanisms and kinetics of nucleation and growth of indium oxide film on an in situ prepared metallic indium electrode was studied in a borate buffer solution of pH 10.0 using cyclic voltammetry and chroanoamperometry techniques. It was shown that the initial stage of nucleation of the oxide film includes a three-dimensional progressive nucleation process, combined with a diffusion-controlled growth of the stable indium oxide crystals.The thermodynamic data obtained indicated a strong tendency of indium to form an indium oxide film on its surface in an aqueous solution.It was found that the rate-determining step in the nucleation and growth process is the surface diffusion of electroactive species.The nucleation rate constant, and the number of nucleation active sites were calculated independently.It was shown that between 2 and 15% of sites on the indium surface act as active nucleation centers, and that each active site represents a critical nucleus.
