“…3 However, this kind of electrolyte operates at high current densities, meaning that zinc contents are systematically excessive and thus that the types of alloys produced are limited. 4 Moreover, as cyanide-based baths reveal many concerns as to their biological toxicity, an extensive search for satisfactory alternative electrolytes has been stimulated as follows: Pyrophosphate, 5 EDTA, 6 Sorbitol, 7 Nitrilotriacetic, 8 Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid, 9 Sulfate, 10 Glycine 4,11 Tartrate, 12 D-mannitol, 13 Choline acetate, 14 Ammonia solution, 15 Choline chloride, 16 Pyrophosphate-oxalate, 17 Triethanolamine, 18 Gluconate-Sulfate, 19 Glycerol-zincate, 20 Glucoheptonate, 21 Ionic liquid baths. 22 However, none of these has resulted in an industrial application, mostly because coating quality is always inferior compared to that obtained from cyanide complexes.…”
