Electrodeposition in Ionic Liquids

摘要

In practice, the electrodeposition of most metals and alloys is almost exclusively performed from aqueous solutions. Chromium, nickel, zinc, copper, silver and gold are some of the metals that are largely used in various technical applications. They can be obtained from aqueous solutions that in some cases are based on toxic components (e.g., cyanide) and using processes that have rather low current efficiencies (e.g., chromium).
