Overpotential deposition is a phenomenon where a reactant is electrochemically deposited on an electrode at a potential higher than its thermodynamic equilibrium potential. This can lead to the formation of a thicker or different kind of deposit than expected based on thermodynamics. It is often used in electroplating processes to control the deposition characteristics.

The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called?
deposition
Is it erosion or deposition when materials drop out of wind or water?
Deposition. Erosion is the process of wearing away or carrying away materials, while deposition is the process of dropping or depositing those materials in a new location.
Why there is low deposition rate in sputter deposition?
Low deposition rate in sputter deposition can be attributed to factors such as low sputter yield of the target material, insufficient power or pressure to sustain sputtering, inefficient target utilization, or poor target-substrate geometry leading to inefficient material transfer. Increasing any of these factors can help improve the deposition rate in sputter deposition.
Is a loess a result of deposition or erosion?
Loess is a result of deposition. It is a clastic, predominantly silt-sized sediment that is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust.
What are the synonyms for weathering erosion deposition?
Weathering: disintegration, decomposition, deterioration Erosion: abrasion, corrosion, scouring Deposition: accumulation, sedimentation, deposit
What is the effect of overpotential of hydrogen evolution in electrolysis of brine?
The effects will vary based on the amount of overpotential, the current density, the electrode materials used, and the concentration of the brine, but in general: - higher overpotential will increase the reaction rate - the brine will become warmer and thermodynamic efficiency decreases - side reactions are more likely to occur, such as electrode stripping and increased Cl2 production at anode
Why is platinum coated with platinum black used in the standard hydrogen electrode?
The platinum black provides a very high surface area that promotes the speed of reaction at the electrode and thereby virtually eliminates overpotential at the standard hydrogen electrode. An overpotential would lead to misleading values of potential of other electrodes compared with a standard hydrogen electrode that manifested overpotential.

What is over voltage in electrochemistry?
In electrochemistry, overvoltage is synonymous with overpotential. Look up overpotential instead of overvoltage to get details of what it is. Basically, it is a potential that develop because of limited reaction kinetic. It works to reduce the voltage of the electrochemical cell. Think of it like this. For a given redox reaction pair that represents a chemical cell, it has a theoretical voltage determined by thermodynamics. This is typically called the open cell voltage. It's the maximum voltage that you could harness out of this reaction if you were to make this into a battery. That is all very good and all except for the little detail of reaction kinetics. In reality, you don't ever get the maximum voltage at open cell. Once current start flowing, limitations on rate of reaction at the cathode and anode develop. Reactions are not infinitely fast. Once you start the reaction, the region near the electrodes are depleted of ion species as they are oxidized or reduced into and out of the electroloyte. It takes time for more to diffuse from the bulk to the solution to the electrode/electrolyte interface. Now your reaction rate is limited. This limitation will show up as a potential, the overpotential, at the electrode. It acts to reduce the potential available to you across the entire cell. If your open cell potential of a batttery was say 2 volts, you may find a severely rate limited reaction to generate 1.9 volts of overpotential at the electrodes as you try to draw current out of the battery. When that happens, your cell actually only gives you 0.1 volts, not 2 volts. What I described above is called concentration overpotential. There are other sources of overpotential. It is much beyond the scope of Y:A to describe it. However, the phenomenon of overpotential in an electrochemical cell is a consequence of reaction kinetics. There are other concepts like equilibrium exchange current density and the use of the Tafel plot when you delve into the topic of electrochemical cells. These are things that must be considered in addition to the thermodynamic open cell potential when a cell starts to draw a current. The best batteries will be constructed out of a system in a way as to have high exchange current density and minimum overpotential. So as you draw current from the cell, you don't find yourself with vastly diminished voltage. It's ability to do work will not be self-limiting as you put it in a device that draws current.
What happen during deposition?
deposition means collection of some substances. Example: the deposition of copper killed him.
Gas to solid is called?
Deposition or desublimation
Is it legal to record a deposition?
A deposition is usually recorded.
