The cathodic reaction mechanism of indium electroplating in a sulfate bath was investigated using several electrochemical methods such as cyclic volt-ampere measurement,linear voltage scanning,and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The results showed that the optimized pH value and temperature for the indium electrodeposition from the sulfate bath were 2~3 and 35~45 ℃,respectively.A preliminary chemical reaction and two non-reversible electrochemical reactions were involved in the cathodic process,and the first electrochemical reaction was...
