Abstract

Electrochemical processes hold great promise as flexible and effective tools for synthesis and processing of a wide range of materials from fractal electrodes to epitaxial nanostructures. The key to successful application of electrochemical techniques is in understanding the kinetic processes which control the evolution and the morphology of the surface at the solid-liquid interface. This paper provides a review of recent advances made by different electrochemical communities in recent years in studies of the growth and modification of a wide variety of materials. The topics covered include studies of pattern formation and growth of dendritic and fractal structures in electrode-position, kinetic roughening and dynamic scaling of surfaces fluctuations during electrochemical deposition and dissolution, as well as recent progress in electrochemical growth of epitaxial layers and nanostructures.
