Galvanostatic regime

Sand s equation, then, relates strictly to galvanostatic regimes. One is stimulated to ask what happens, then, in respect to time under diffusion control, if it is the potential of the electrode that is kept constant, i.e., the situation is potentiostatic. This case was treated a year after that given by Sands, although it was another 35 years before the... 

Here / is the electric current density in the filter—the time-independent control parameter in the galvanostatic regime. 

As a possible set of boundary conditions at the edges of the channel in a galvanostatic regime we may choose ... 

Here the constant I once more stands for the DC current density, given in the galvanostatic regime. 

Hydrogen intercalation of y-InSe and e-GaSe samples was carried out (like as in [4, 5]) using the electrochemical method from electrolyte with sweeping electric field in the galvanostatic regime. A special soft choice of the optimal electric field strength and current density (E = 30 50 V/cm and j < 10 iiA/crrr) enabled to...

These metal structures can be formed in both potentiostatic and galvanostatic regimes of electrolysis and their formation are always accompanied by strong hydrogen co-deposition. Hydrogen evolution is the second reaction which occurs at the cathode during electrodeposition processes from aqueous solutions in some cases it can be... 

PSC samples were prepared in galvanostatic regime at current density (/) = 4-120 mA cm-2 in dilute hydrofluoric acid without illumination. PSC samples prepared at / 4-80 mA cm-2 remained stoichiometric (Si/C ratio = 1), so below we refer to this as SPSC. 

In life test experiments and in the stacks, the cell is run under fixed total current (galvanostatic regime). In this regime, the degradation manifests itself... 

Considering the practically important case of fixed total current Itot and A (galvanostatic regime under constant oxygen stoichiometry), the profile (6.57) provides invariance of I,ot with time. Indeed,...

Comparative survey of powders obtained in potentiostatic and galvanostatic regimes of electrolysis is shown in Fig. 6.4. In spite of the fact that particles obtained by galvanostatic deposition are less dendritic than those obtained by potentiostatic deposition due to smaller overpotential at the end of the galvanostatic than the potentiostatic regimes [5], there is no any substantia] difference in the morphology of powder particles obtained between these two constant regimes of...

The steady state can be effectuated easily under potentiostatic conditions. The current decreasing in the transient period finally reaches a constant value dependent on the potential E imposed on the electrode. In the galvanostatic regime (where a constant current is forced through the cell) the electrode potential is settled to a constant value dependent on the applied current, I. Potentiodynamic steady state voltammetry based on the sufficient slowly varying potential ramp offers the third possibility for getting the time-independent I-E plot.

It is necessary to note that dendrites obtained in the galvanostatic regime were more branchy structures than those obtained in the... 

On the other hand, due to the fact that morphology of a deposit is determined by overpotential of electrodeposition, the structure of powder particles will not depend on electrolysis time in the poten-tiostatic conditions of electrodeposition. In the galvanostatic regime of electrolysis, overpotential of electrodeposition changes with electrolysis time, and for that reason, this regime of electrolysis is not suitable for basic experiments required for a theoretical consideration. 

The particle size distribution curves for copper powders obtained on the platinum electrodes in galvanostatic regime at currents of 28.6, 52.0, and 133 mA are shown in Fig. 3.23. The selected currents corresponded to average currents recorded in potentiostatic electrodepositions at overpotentials of 600,700, and 800 mV, respectively [83]. The formation of larger particles and less narrow distribution curves in the galvanostatic regime than those formed in the potentiostatic...
