Cyclic Voltammetric Study of High Speed Silver Electrodeposition and Dissolution in Low Cyanide Solutions

Figure 2

(a) Cyclic voltammograms of silver electrodeposition and silver dissolution in the solutions consisting of 6 g/L KCN, 120 g/L KNO3, and 60–200 g/L KAg(CN)2. Inset: the current response of second anodic peak increases with increasing KAg(CN)2 concentration during the anodic scan. (b) The effect of KAg(CN)2 concentration on the onset potential of silver electrodeposition. (c) The influence of KAg(CN)2 concentration on the electrodeposition rate in the sweeping potential range from +0.6 V to −0.7 V.
