Effect of Electrolytic Parameters on Patterns of Electrodeposited Copper Fractals Considering High Concentration of the Electrolyte

Electrodeposition of metals using salts of the metal as electrolyte under certain conditions results in dendritic patterns that exhibits fractal character. The underlying process responsible for development of dendritic treelike structures with complex branches is the Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA). We studied the growth of electrodeposits from copper sulphate at high concentrations of the electrolyte solution under different conditions and the effect of voltage, time and concentration on the nature of electrodeposit is studied.
