“…Additives such as thiourea (Sulcius, Griskonis, & Diaz-Arista, 2009), selenous acid and ammonium selenate (Griskonis & Sulcius, 2005), sulphate, sulphate-citrate (Wilcox & Gabe, 1993;Bozzini et al, 2002), thiocarbamide (Bozzini et al, 2002), EDTA-citrate (Muller et al, 2003a;2003b), polyethylene glycol (Ortiz, Diaz-Arista, Meas, Ortega-Borges, & Trejo, 2009), cyanide, ammonium thiocyanate (Díaz-Arista et al, 2009;Ortiz et al, 2009;Close et al, 2016), fluoroborate (Bucko et al, 2011), chloride (Claudel et al 2019;Ganesan et al, 2014;Louki & Feki, 2017a, 2017bMarin-Sanchez et al, 2014;Sylla et al, 2005) and different solvents (Bucko et al, 2017(Bucko et al, ,2018Chung et al, 2008) have been shown to affect the manganese content in the electrodeposit (Wilcox & Gabe, 1993;Bucko et al, 2013a). Nevertheless, these electrolytes have limitations including instability (Brenner, 1963), toxicity (Wilcox & Gabe, 1993), corrosiveness and precipitation of the Mn (Bozzini et al, 1999;Bucko et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2012).…”
