Fundamental understanding of the early stages of electrodeposition at the nanoscale is key to address the challenges in a wide range of applications. In this work, we introduce a novel modelling approach that couples a finite element method (FEM) with a random walk algorithm, to study the early stages of nanocluster formation, aggregation and growth, during electrochemical deposition.
