Abstract

The formation of a Cu2O precipitate induced via anodic copper dissolution in an aqueous sodium chloride electrolyte was studied over the pH range 1–7 by means of laser illumination and digital processing of video images. A mechanism of precipitation is proposed on the basis of the experimental findings and the theory of ionic equilibria.
