Type: article
Abstract: Anodic oxide films of zinc oxide in an aqueous solution of K Cl (0.1 M; 0.5 M and 1 M) were obtained by electrochemical oxidation of zinc metal. Zinc electrode was used as anode and platinum plate as cathode. The study discusses the influence of the concentrations of K Cl solution and the voltage applied to the electrochemical cell on the morphology of the obtained anode films, as well as their thermodynamic stability. The analysis of volt-ampere curves of linear potential sweep and chronoamperometric dependences showed that oxidation in 0.1 M K Cl solution at a voltage of 7.5 V allows to obtain continuous stable defect-free Zn O films on metal zinc.
