Pulse magnetoelectrolysis

We present a novel technique consisting in the combination of pulse plating and magnetoelectrolysis. This technique is applied to copper electrolysis between two vertical copper-electrodes. The modulation of the current inside an inhomogeneous magnetic field generates a modulated Lorentz force driving an oscillating convection studied using particle image velocimetry. The resulting changes in the concentration boundary layers are analysed by means of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
