Surface State of Sacrificial Copper Electrode by Electropolishing in Hydrophobic Ionic Liquid 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide

Abstract: Anodic dissolution of natural surface-oxidized, air-annealed, cathodically reduced, and cathodically deposited copper in hydrophobic ionic liquid 1-buthyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide under galvanostatic conditions by means of gravimetric measurements was studied. The resulting samples were mirror-like oxide-free copper pattern. The mechanism of the electropolishing of oxidized copper surface was considered. The consequent anodic reactions Cu2O - 1e = Cu(+) + CuO, CuO - 2e = Cu(2+) + O… Show more

“…The aluminum oxide film is assumed to produce a dull finish on the metal surface, owing to its considerable thickness (~0.5-1 µm) [13,14]. The light scattering on natural oxidized copper is also due to the oxide film, the thickness of which was calculated to be about 627 nm [15]. The oxide film thicknesses on chromium [16], nickel [17], and titanium [18,19] are considerably smaller (3-7 nm) than the wavelength of visible light.…”

“…These electrolytes provide significant advantages such as high solubility of metal salts, high electrical conductivity and high electrochemical stability, that make them ideal for metal processing. Many studies have been carried out demonstrating the feasibility of using ionic liquids as electrolytes in EP for a variety of different stainless steels, Ni/Co alloys [11], Cu [12] or Ti [13], but there is still work to do with the aim of industrializing this process.…”

“…The electrodeposition of copper has been investigated for a variety of applications, and the anodic dissolution of metallic copper has been thoroughly studied in ionic liquid (IL) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) media [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Previously, the anodic dissolution of metallic copper has been thoroughly examined in aqueous media [11][12][13]. This invaluable metal has wide applications, including electronics, decorating, pre-coating, and electro-catalysis [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
