Electrodeposition of cobalt with tunable morphology from reverse micellar solution

A novel viewpoint of an imidazole derivative ionic liquid as an additive for cobalt and nickel electrodeposition

“…S2a and b, † suggests that the rate of growth is controlled by the mass transfer of Co 2+ and Ni 2+ to the growing center. Similar electrochemical results have recently been reported for Co 2+ in a reverse micellar solution,64 for Zn in an acidic bath in the presence of ninhydrin as an organic additive, 40 in 1-butyl-3methylpyridinium bromide [BMPy] Br ionic liquid additive…”

Control of calcium oxalate morphology through electrocrystallization as an electrochemical approach for preventing pathological disease

“…While electrodeposition can be used to direct oriented crystallization of organic or inorganic compounds [16][17][18][19], there are studies concerning the polymorphism control by using electrocrystallization. We believe that electrocrystallization represents a very good model to investigate the transformation of cluster to amorphous precursor materials, time deposition, metastable crystalline polymorphs and to study the effect of crystallization conditions on polymorphism selection with tremendous implications for understanding of biomineralization and of crystallization.…”

Effect of Functionalized Multiwalled CNTs on the Selective Formation of Calcium Oxalate Crystals by Electrocrystallization

“…In the absence of additives, the chemical composition of CaOx did not differ from theoretical predictions. As is known, XRD is a more suitable technique than SEM-EDX to identify inorganic constituents in KS by their unique diffraction patterns, which allows the identification of unknown crystalline substances. ,− Therefore, XRD was performed on the CaOx crystals formed on the surface of the ITO substrates via the EC experiments by applying 3, 9, 15, and 18 mA currents at 37 and 60 °C (Figure S7). In general, the XRD patterns of the CaOx crystals electrodeposited on ITO were quite similar to each other.…”

“…A method rarely used to evaluate the role of additives on the mineralization of oxides and inorganic materials is the electrocrystallization (EC) technique known as electrodeposition method, in which that electrochemical deposition is a general method of fabrication of oxide or mineral coating. − This method can be used to direct oriented crystallization or selectively control the crystal morphology. EC seems to be an appropriate method for understanding the different aspects of biomineralization due to there being few instances of the study of polymorphism of inorganic mineral by electrochemistry; parameters such as nucleation and crystal growth could be addressed and could even be utilized to study the stabilization of metastable forms .…”
