Investigation of plating, properties and structure of nickel deposits from sulphamate-ethylene glycol bath

Electrodeposition of Ni from Various Non-Aqueous Media: The Case of Alcoholic Solutions

“…As to the electrodeposition of Ni from non-aqueous solutions, several papers have been published on this topic 3,4,6,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] but we shall here only briefly mention some of these results. Lee et al 14 reported the growth of nanocrystalline Ni films on n-Si(111) substrate by pulsed electrodeposition.…”

Effects of Deposition Potential and Temperature on Co(II) Reduction and Electrocrystallization for Preparing Nanocrystalline Co Coatings in Ethylene Glycol Solution

“…23,24 Thus, various materials with excellent property have been prepared from EG based baths. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] For instance, about a few decades ago, a typical semiconductor material of CdTe film was successfully obtained by Pandey and co-workers [25][26][27][28] from an EG based solution, and they found that the film was a stoichiometric, polycrystalline, adherentand crack-free deposit, indicating that it can be more promising candidate for commercial application in photovoltaic field. In addition, the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the electrodeposition process were also studied by Pandey group.…”

“…Almost at the same time, EG system were also employed as the electrolyte to prepare the monometallic and alloy coatings. For instance, the metal Ni coatings with bright and uniform surface were obtained successfully by Singh et al 32 from EG solution at 293 K, and they found the surface morphology and quality of the Ni electrodeposits could be affected obviously by temperature. The Sn coatings with roundish and compactly packed grains were prepared successfully from stable nonaqueous EG electrolytes containing boric acid.…”
