Abstract

Electrodeposition of metallic layers are important technological processes because of their low cost and wide availability. Nonaqueous electrolytes are widely used for deposition of Rare Earths or alkaline metals. We have found that these types of electrolytes could also be used for 3d elements deposition. Aim of this work is demonstration of new type of almost nonaqueous electrolyte. Unlike commonly used solutions, the electrolyte based on ketone and inorganic acid has property of universality. Under similar conditions metallic layers of few different 3d elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) could be deposited. Possibilities of multicomponent deposition are discussed. Properties of the deposited layers are reported and the method of deposition is presented.
