Electrodeposition of RE–TM (RE=La, Sm, Gd; TM=Fe, Co, Ni) films and magnetic properties in urea melt

Electrodeposition of SmCo alloy nanowires with a large length-diameter ratio from SmCl3–CoCl2–1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid without template

“…Obviously, the co-reduction of Sm 3+ ions with Co 2+ ions signicantly improves the reduction current density due to the formation of SmCo alloy, which not only releases formation enthalpy but also presents more nucleus as electroactive intermediates because of a polynuclear complex containing Co 2+ and Sm 3+ in the electrolyte. 21 The mole percentage of Sm in SmCo alloys gradually enhances as the applied potential is more negative. The SmCo alloy electrodeposited at À0.85 V has a mole ratio of Sm and Co of 1 : 0.61.…”

Electrochemical preparation of Al- Li alloy from Urea-LiCl molten salt at 353–393 K

“…As a cheap organic compound and easy to produce on a large scale, urea can form low-melting molten salts with alkali metal halides characterized with high conductivity and wide electrochemical window ( Liang et al, 2001 ; Liu et al, 2017 ). At present, there are a few reports on the preparation of active metals and their alloys by electrodeposition in urea-based room temperature molten salts ( Liu et al, 2006 ; Wang et al, 2008 ; Li et al, 2009 ).…”

Electrodeposition of nickel in air- and water-stable 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate ionic liquid

“…Electrodeposition of nickel is widely used to obtain metallic nickel coatings for corrosion protection and decoration. [25][26][27] Currently, the dominant commercial nickel electroplating processes are based on Watts nickel bath developed by Oliver P. Watts in 1916 which is used to produce bright, dark, hard nickel coating and so on for different applications. 28 Further, the morphology and properties of the coatings obtained from Watts bath can be controlled by organic and inorganic additives in the bath.…”
