A new industrial electrodeposition of copper in an acidic medium using an environmental cinnamon extract has been developed. The obtained coatings were adherent and uniform, and their deposition rate has reached 23 µm/h. In addition, their quality has been improved by cinnamon extract addition. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have showed that the electrodeposition mechanism depends on the electrolyte constituents and the additive presence. The SEM observation indicated that the coatings morphology has been improved by cinnamon extract addition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
