  • © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.The most common method for the electrochemical deposition of nanostructures is the potentiostatic double-pulse. In this work we report the electrodeposition of Ag nanoparticles on ITO using the single-pulse galvanostatic method, a technologically simpler and more scalable method that is rarely explored. The effect of the applied current on the particle density and the average size of the particles was evaluated at constant charge. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the applied deposition current has a strong effect on the particle density of the deposits, and a rather weak effect on the mean particle size.
