Further insights on dynamic morphological transitions in quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition

Dynamic morphological transitions in thin-layer electrodeposits obtained from copper sulphate solutions have been studied. The chemical composition of the electrodeposits indicates that they appear as a consequence of the competition between copper and cuprous oxide formation. In addition, the Ohmic control of the process is verified at initial stages of the deposit growth. At higher deposit developments, gravity-induced convection currents play a role in the control of the whole process and affect the position of these transitions.
