Abstract:

In the proposed research paper, we considered the pattern of formation of copper powders during the polarization of electrodes by transient currents. When a copper-titanium pair of electrodes is polarized with an industrial alternating current of 50 Hz in a solution of copper (II) sulfate, it is shown that copper powders with a high current yield are formed on the surface of the titanium electrode. Under optimum conditions, the current yield is 80%. The size of the formed copper powders is 0.5-2 µm. The analysis of the obtained oscillograms showed that when titanium is used in the circuit, the asymmetrical sinusoidal current flows.
