Abstract
The electrochemical deposition of zinc/gold dendrite-free alloys was achieved from deep eutectic solvents based on a mixture of choline chloride and ethylene glycol, without using any additives. Potentiostatic electrodeposition was carried out at relatively low Zn electrodeposition overpotential at different Zn(II) concentrations. Insight into the electrochemical mechanism of the Zn electrodeposition was revealed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chrono- amperometry (CA). The morphology and structure of the obtained electrodeposits were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the elemental analysis was determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) technique. The CV results showed that Zn electrodeposition commences with zinc underpotential deposition (UPD) and proceeds through the zinc overpotential deposition (OPD) region. The deposition potential of the Zn/Zn(II) couple shifts towards more positive value with increased Zn(II) concentration. CA analysis demonstrated that in the zinc OPD region, 3D progressive nucleation starts, followed by 3D growth of depositing zinc. Morphological analysis revealed that electrodeposition commences with the formation of compact Zn islands and proceeds through dendrite-free zinc/gold alloys formed. A formation of several intermetallics, namely cubic AuZn3 and AuZn along with metallic zinc were identified by XRD analysis.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
