This work studied the effect of applying pulse current
(ton=off=1s) on the electrodeposition of silver nanoparticles on
carbon sphere surface as a substrate. The electrolyte is made of 0.1
M KNO3, 0.1 M KCN and 0.01M AgNO3. The pH value has been
adjusted in the alkaline region of 9.1 with the help of K(NO3)
addition. Experiments were carried out at room temperature for
periods up to 12 minutes. The cell is fitted with a mechanical stirrer
to keep the electrolyte in a dynamic state. Product(s) was
characterized with the help of SEM and EDX and field emission.
Results obtained show that silver nanoparticles has successfully
electrodeposited under pulse current conditions with a particle size
of 100–400 nm after 2 minutes. Deposition takes place on certain
accessible sites of the carbon surface of the substrate forming a
monolayer of scattered silver nanoparticles. Formation of macro
particles with larger diameter and multilayer in thickness takes
place with continuous deposition of silver nanoparticles on the
formerly deposited silver. Pulse current helps management of the
monolayer deposition as compared to the steady DC application
with respect to particle diameter and number of layers.
