Abstract
In this work it is shown from analysis of experimental current density transients, recorded during copper electrodeposition, under force convection condition, that the use of the so called current density correction, j0, proposed for Hyde et al. (M. E. Hyde, O.V. Klymenko, R.G. Compton, The theory of electrodeposition in the presence of forced convection: Transport controlled nucleation of hemispheres, J. Electroanal. Chem. 534 (2002) 13) for fitting purposes only is not recommended, since it provokes that the related values with physical meaning, for instance the diffusion layer thickness (δ) shifts away from the correct values, found using the equation proposed by Levich (B. Levich, Physicochemical Hydrodynamics, Prentice, (1962)).
