A noble metal, silver (Ag), is deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass using an electrochemical deposition technique. The nucleation process and the growth rate of Ag are studied by varying the external potential and/or the concentration of Ag. Kinetic parameters including the density of active sites, the nucleation rate constant, and the diffusion coefficient are determined from the analysis of chronoamperometry data and the Ag morphology. Good agreement is observed between chronoamperometry analysis and the surface morphology. The morphology is observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of the theoretical investigation confirm that this is a progressive process.

使用电化学沉积技术将贵金属银 (Ag) 沉积在掺氟氧化锡 (FTO) 涂层的玻璃上。通过改变外部电位和/或 Ag 浓度来研究 Ag 的成核过程和生长速率。动力学参数包括活性位点的密度、成核速率常数和扩散系数是通过对计时电流法数据和 Ag 形态的分析确定的。在计时电流分析和表面形态之间观察到良好的一致性。使用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）观察形态。理论研究的结果证实，这是一个渐进的过程。
