High Current Density Chronopotentiometric Electrosynthesis and SEM Characterization of Hexanethiol-Monolayer-Protected Silver Planar Nanotriangles (Ag@C₆SH)

Figure 1

Constant current chronopotentiogram ( transients) obtained during the galvanostatic electrosynthesis of Ag@C₆SH at = 0.5 A·cm⁻². Silver rod, used as sacrificial anode electrode, and Pt rod, used as working electrode, were immersed in the electrolyte solution (C₆SH + NaBH₄ + KCl + EtOH) under continuous nitrogen purge during three cycles: green: cycle 1 (1st 300 s); blue: cycle 2 (2nd 300 s); red: cycle 3 (3rd 300 s).
