Study On Electrodeposition Of Antimony In Choline Chloride-Ethylene Glycol Eutectic Solvent, Hao Wang, Xiao-Zhou Cao, Xiang-Xin Xue

Journal of Electrochemistry

Antimony is a chemically stable metal that has been widely used in industry, military and other fields. The use of electrodeposition to prepare antimony coating has the advantages of simple operation and low cost. The deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a eutectic mixture composed of a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor at a fixed molar ratio. It has the advantages of wide electrochemical window, high thermal stability, easy preparation, and low cost. Selecting DES as the electrolyte for electrodeposition can avoid the hydrogen evolution reaction of the aqueous system and the toxicity of ionic liquids. In recent …
