The kinetics of the electrocrystallization of nanostructured gold is investigated on both rotating disc and stationary glassy carbon electrodes. A possible mechanism of gold deposition is presented. A general expression of the current-time transient for the superposition of adsorption, three-dimensional nucleation and mixed charge transfer/diffusion controlled growth based on existing theories is reported for the kinetics on stationary electrodes. The experimentally recorded current-time transients are analyzed in terms of this model. Kinetic parameters are determined and their consequence is discussed.
