Abstract
The deposition of zinc on silver from alkaline zincate solutions has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry, potential pulse methods, x‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Approximately one monolayer of zinc is formed in the underpotential deposition region prior to bulk deposition. The underpotential shift is 0.15V. Zinc forms at least two alloys with the substrate. One was identified as and the other as the β′ phase of. The bulk zinc deposit consists of hexagonal platelets that are oriented both parallel and perpendicular to the basal plane.Keywords
