What Is the Process of Depositing Metal Particles in Pure Water Called?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The process of depositing metal particles in pure water using two electrodes of the same metal is known as "electrodeposition." This technique involves the application of an electric current to facilitate the reduction of metal ions, resulting in a suspension of metal particles in the water. The discussion highlights the distinction between traditional electrolysis of salts and the specific method of electrodeposition in pure water.

The only kind of electrolysis I've learned about is electrolysis of salts dissolved in water. In that case there's current flowing through between the two electrodes but what do you call the process where you submerge 2 electrodes of the same metal in pure water in order to produce a solution of water and metal particles?

Solution of metal particles? Suspension perhaps?
