“…In the last years, a lot of study has been performed on the TiO 2 codeposition process, with matrices as Cu [2,3], Ag [2,3] and Zn [4,5]. Specifically, TiO 2 particle-reinforced Ni composite electrodeposits exhibit improved mechanical properties [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], accompanied by an interesting photoelectrochemical [3] and electrocatalytical behaviour [13]. Moreover, literature survey has revealed that the incorporation of nano-sized TiO 2 particles into the nickel matrix, under direct current (DC) electrodeposition, leads to the formation of finer structures with reduced grain size [12,14,15], decreases the residual tensile stresses [12], increases the hardness [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], wear [9][10][11][12] and corrosion resistance [6,10,12] of the coatings, compared to pure Ni electrodeposits, although controversial results have been reported concerning corrosion resistance [8].…”
