Cyclic voltammetry study of the NiP electrodeposition

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0013-4686(93)85137-N

Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the deposition mechanism of NiP amorphous alloys. Whatever the cathodic potential for the deposition, the anodic going scan presents two well-formed anodic peaks preceded by a small current plateau. The two peaks are related to two alloys of different phosphorus content, and therefore in two different structural states. The formation of the first peak is controlled by a very slow kinetic process.
