Electrodeposition of Ni, Fe and Ni-Fe Alloys in Two Ionic Liquids: (tri (n-butyl) [2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl] Ammonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) [BuGBOEt] [Tf2N] and (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([P1,4] [Tf2N])

Abstract

Ni, Fe and Ni-Fe alloys electrodeposition were tested in two ionic liquids. The first one is a commercial (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([P 1,4

Electrodeposition of high-purity nanostructured iron films from Fe(II) and Fe(III) non-aqueous solutions based on ethylene glycol

“…The electrodeposition of iron films is not trivial from aqueous solution due to the oxidation from Fe(II) to Fe(III) at the anode or the precipitation of hydroxides Fe(OH)3 at the cathodic surface due to local alkalization. On the other hand, the employment of non-aqueous solutions may be a good alternative, especially for iron-based system, in order to avoid pH dependence and to obtain high purity deposits [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Non-aqueous solvents are extensively studied thanks to several advantages with respect to traditional plating baths, i.e.…”
