Abstract

Solution plasma is a promising method for the production of nanostructured materials. The explanation of physical and electrochemical processes during the growth of nanostructures under the action of solution plasma is very important for understanding the mechanism of oxide nanostructures formation. When forming nanoparticles of noble metals, some processes on electrodes are not considered due to the properties of these materials. However, near-electrode processes can play the main role in the synthesis of the oxide structures from non-noble metals.
