The Principles and Techniques of Electrolytic Aluminum Deposition and Dissolution in Organoaluminum Electrolytes

Quest for Nonaqueous Multivalent Secondary Batteries: Magnesium and Beyond

“…On the other hand, Aurbach claims that the TBABF 4 salt is stable against reduction by the calcium anode and reports the conductivity of the corresponding Ca­(BF 4 ) 2 salt. The stability of the BF 4 – anion against reduction by a calcium anode suggests that use of a salt such as Ca­(BF 4 ) 2 could allow deposition of Ca in a stable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or n -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) . However, no electrochemistry has been reported for organic solutions of the Ca­(BF 4 ) 2 salt.…”

Effect of [Al(DMSO2)3] 3+ Concentration on Al Electrodeposition from AlCl3/Dimethylsulfone Baths

“…Smelting of Al has been industrialized by the Hall-Héroult process: Al is electrowon from alumina-dissolved cryolite molten salt at 1273 K [1]. As its low redox potential (-1.68 V vs. SHE) does not permit its electrowinning in aqueous solutions, recent attempts to fabricate Al films have employed mechanical and chemical methods such as hot dipping [2], vapor phase deposition [3,4], thermal spraying [5,6], and electrodeposition [7][8][9]. Of these methods, the electrodeposition of Al boasts many advantages, including the ability to coat complex shapes evenly, relatively high deposition rates, and easily controlled coating thickness.…”

Effect of Li Ions on Al Electrodeposition from Dimethylsulfone

“…Several surface treatment methods, such as ionic liquids [1]- [9], molten salts [10] [11] [12], physical vapor deposition [13] [14], chemical vapor deposition, spray coating [15] [16], cementation [17] [18], sputtering [19] [20], hot dipping [21] [22], and electroplating [23] [24] [25], have been proposed to protect substrate against corrosion and to improve its other properties.…”
