چکیده

Platinum nanotubes are created by galvanic deposition inside porous templates. The effects of the electrolyte's ion concentration and pH, of the applied potential and of the deposition duration on the morphology of the tubes are investigated systematically. The system provides a model electrode platform with accurately tunable geometry for the fundamental investigation of electrochemical transformations. For slow electrochemical reactions, we observe a linear increase of the galvanic current with the length of the nanotubes, and therefore with the specific surface area of the electrode. In contrast to this, inherently fast electrochemical transformations are diffusion-limited and give rise to the same current density independently of the geometry. These results delineate a strategy for optimizing the performance of electrochemical energy conversion devices systematically via nanostructuring the electrode surfaces.

Electrochemical Migration Failure of the Copper Trace on Printed Circuit Board Driven by Immersion Silver Finish

With lead-free legislation impacting printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, immersion silver (ImAg) finish is adapted as the top finish of copper trace on PCB due to its many advantages. However, it is easy for silver to form electrochemical migration (ECM) in high humid environment, so that the potential bias and spacing between adjacent circuits are limited. In addition, since the thickne...
