Abstract

Metal electrodeposition into the nanopores of template of porous anodic alumina type under the conditions of mixed kinetics is studied theoretically using analytical and numerical methods. Two main stages of the process are studied: the non-steady-state formation of diffusion layer in the template pores and much longer process of pore filling with metal. The effect of nonlinearity of the concentration dependence of exchange current density of metal electrodeposition on the current density of the diffusion layer formation and pore filling with metal is studied.

Keywords
