A crystal growth model that accounts for the specific features of electrocrystallization under conditions where mass and heat transfer play a significant role is considered. The evolution of the temperature of a growing island at the initial stages of electrocrystallization is investigated as a function of the chosen mode of deposition on substrates with a weak adhesion. Possible scenarios of the development of the processes occurring in a growing island and leading, in particular, to the formation of pentagonal small particles are analyzed.
