Zinc Electrodeposition in the Presence of an Aqueous Electrolyte Containing 1-Ethylpyridinium Bromide: Unexpected Oddities*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reversible electrodeposition of zinc was investigated in an aqueous electrolyte containing zinc bromide (50 mM) and 1-ethylpyridinium bromide ([C2Py]Br, 50 mM) by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Unusual voltammetric behaviour for the Zn/ZnII redox couple was observed in the presence of [C2Py]Br. Passivation of the redox couple was observed after a single deposition–stripping cycle at switching potentials more negative than -1.25 V versus Ag/AgCl. This unusual behaviour was attributed to the reduction of 1-ethylpyridinium cations to pyridyl radicals and their follow-up reactions, which influenced the zinc electrochemistry. This behaviour was further seen to modify the nucleation process of electrodeposition, which altered the morphology of zinc electrodeposits.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
