Resumen:
In this work we study the effects of viscosity variations in thin-layer electrochemical deposition (ECD) under galvanostatic conditions through experimental measurements and theoretical modeling. The theoretical model, written in terms of dimensionless quantities, describes diffusive, migratory and convective ion transport in a fluid under galvanostatic conditions. Experiments reveal that as viscosity increases, convection decreases when the cell resistance remains constant. Our numerical model predicts that as viscosity increases, electroconvection becomes less relevant and concentration and convective fronts slow down. The time scaling of this phenomenon is studied and compared to previously reported low viscosity solution studies.
