Electrodeposition of Metals and Alloys from Formamide Solutions

Abstract

While pure aluminum could not be deposited from a solution of aluminum chloride in formamide, alloys of aluminum with iron, and with zinc could be deposited. The quantity of aluminum reached 17.65 per cent in the alloy with iron. The addition of dry hydrochloric acid gas to the baths improved the deposits from solutions in formamide of the chlorides of most of the common metals, but interfered with the decomposition of aluminum alloys.INTRODUCTION.

A Hydride Bath for the Electrodeposition of Aluminum

“…Acetamide (20) was found to be unsatisfactory as a solvent for aluminum deposition. However, ironaluminum alloys containing 17 per cent aluminum were deposited from formamide (21). Taft and Barham (22) were ramble to deposit aluminum from liquid ammonia.…”

Novel approaches and scalability prospects of copper based hole transporting materials for planar perovskite solar cells

“…CuSCN is a molecular, metal pseudohalide of singly ionized copper, the properties of which have been studied since the first half of the twentieth century. 88 CuSCN as an inorganic HTL has exhibited the most promising results, hence it has been the latest trend in PSCs. It has been initially used in organic solar cells, where the potential for increased PCE using this material has been demonstrated, 89 while novel preparation strategies have further raised the efficiencies obtained.…”

Attempts to Electrodeposit Zirconium

“…Formamide has been suggested for the electrodeposition of metals and alloys (13) and it was tried for zirconium. Zirconium tetrachloride was found to be soluble in melted formamide; the melt was a good conductor but on electrolysis there was no cathode deposit.…”
