Electrodeposition of Gradient-Density Metal Films from Ionic Liquids

Michael Stadermann | 17-ERD-047

Executive Summary

We are studying the electrodeposition of metal alloys from ionic liquids (a salt in the liquid state) to enable a wider range of compositions and a greater control over film morphology. This may enable new alloy thin-film deposition for catalysis or corrosion- and wear-resistant coatings and help develop deposition for light metals and alloys for high-energy-density experiments.
