Zinc electrodeposition
Project Description
The project will investigate the dependence of zinc deposition on a range of conditions, including the deposition current, the electrolyte composition, and the temperature. To evaluate the deposition, the student will utilize tools such as microscopy, surface profiler, and elemental analysis. The goal is to understand the formation mechanism of various deposit structures, which bear significance in zinc batteries and material fabrication.
