Electrodeposition of Macroporous Zn and ZnO Films from Ionic Liquids

摘要

Nanostructured zinc films were prepared by electrodeposition onto templates of well-ordered regulararrays of PS spheres on ITO and gold coated glass substrates. The deposition was carried out from anionic liquid (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) at room temperaturein an argon filled glove box. The Zn films were oxidized to ZnO when exposed to air at elevatedtemperature. SEM images showed well organized nanostructures for both Zn and ZnO.
