We measured heat changes during electrochemical Ag deposition on Ag from diluted aqueous solutions. Particular emphasis is placed on the variation of the heat changes with the applied overpotential, i.e., the deviation from thermal equilibrium during the electrochemical reaction. For heat detection we use a method, which allows determination of heat changes due to minute electrochemical conversions originating from the deposition of few percent of a monolayer of Ag. The method is based on pyroelectric temperature measurement during pulsed, 10 ms long electrochemical reactions, which intrinsically necessitates high overpotentials or fast electrochemical reactions, and which thus requires detailed understanding of the irreversible heat effects from overpotential. Our measurements are corroborated by simulations of charge, mass and heat transport in the half cell upon Ag deposition. The processes which lead to irreversible generation of heat are discussed in detail. Based on that heat changes from diffusion-limited Ag deposition from 1 mM Ag+ solutions as well as charge-transfer-limited Ag deposition from [Ag(NH3)(2)](+) complexes could be quantitatively understood.
