ABSTRACT
Silver is electrodeposited without added supporting electrolyte to avoid anion discharge problems. The contribution of migration to mass transfer results in nearly linear rates of deposition of silver that depend on the applied potential. Electrodes coated with 1.6 monolayers of silver were found to work best for reproducing octadecyl mercaptan submonolayer coverages and can be routinely prepared by double-potential step experiments [68].
