Abstract We have madein-situ observation of electrodeposition on the graphite surface in electrolyte(0.5 mM-Bi2O3, 10 mM-HClO4) by means of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM). We have observed the growth and the stripping of Bi metal particles of about 10 nm in diameter, with increase and decrease in the electrode potential, respectively. The STM images are taken in real time in a period of about 30 sec. They show that small particles grow in the initial stage, come in contact with each other, and coalesce in the contact area connecting two neighboring particles.
