Abstract

Using zinc ring as anode and graphite as cathode, fractal growth of electrodeposited zinc in ZnSO4 solution has been studied. The fractal dimension and macroscopic morphology under various experimental conditions were analyzed. The results show that the fractal dimensions increase with the applied voltage, while the morphologies change from resembles those of DLA, thin stringy structures to open but regular grossness structures. Also, the concentration of ZnSO4 plays important role on the fractal dimension.
