Control of the Composition of Electrodeposited Alloys by the Use of Certain Types of Additives

Abstract

Using the principle that additives used in electrodeposition of metals often exert their effect by selectively accelerating or inhibiting one of the competing reactions occurring at the electrode, a study was made to demonstrate the predictable effect of additives that affect the rate of electrode reactions by ion pairing, electron bridging and electrode filming. The effect of these additives was demonstrated by studying their effect on voltammetric measurements, on the current efficiencies for deposition of metals and on the composition of binary alloys. Keywords: Additive, Electrodeposition, Mechanism, Alloys, Ion pairing, Electron bridging, Electrode filming.
