Electrodeposition of Ni-Mo and Fe-Mo alloys from sulfate-citrate acid solutions

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:This paper reports on a study of the electrodeposition of Ni-Mo and Fe-Mo alloys on Pt electrodes in a sodium citrate solution at pH 4.0. The alloys were subjected to cyclic voltammetry at different ion concentration ratios to identify their behavior. The electrodeposited coatings were analyzed by SEM, EDX and XRD. The results of the cyclic voltammetry tests indicated the presence of dissolution peaks only with high Ni or Fe ion concentrations. The SEM analysis revealed that the two alloys had dissimilar morphologies and the Ni-Mo alloys were homogeneous and thick. The Mo and O contents were higher in the Ni-Mo than in the Fe-Mo alloys. Anomalous deposition was found to occur in the co-deposition of Ni and Mo.
