Underpotential deposition
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (September 2010) |
Underpotential deposition (UPD), in
equilibrium (Nernst
) potential for the reduction of this metal. The equilibrium potential for the reduction of a metal in this context is the potential at which it will deposit onto itself. Underpotential deposition can then be understood to be when a metal can deposit onto another material more easily than it can deposit onto itself.
Interpretation
The occurrence of underpotential deposition is often interpreted as a result of a strong interaction between the
polycrystalline materials.[1]
