The effect of ionic strength on the electrodeposition of silver has been investigated in acetonitrile (MeCN) containing TBAPF6 or in the ionic liquid [EMIm][OTf]. The use of an ionic liquid allows a greater ionic strength to be investigated as the solubility limits of supporting electrolytes in organic solvents can be overcome using neat ionic liquid. The SEM and XRD data show that polycrystalline silver is deposited in a fcc structure and that dendrite formation is retarded at high ionic strength. Electrochemical measurements undertaken in electrolytes of low ionic strength indicate that the deposition and growth of a few nuclei is preferred and leads to dendrite formation. However, at higher ionic strength, the deposition and growth of significantly more nuclei is observed and therefore dendrite growth rates and tip currents are lower leading to the deposition of spherical particulates. Crucially, the data shows that if the ionic strength of the electrolyte is controlled there are no differences between ionic liquids and molecular solvents for the electrodeposition of silver.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
