Abstract
Nickel coating was obtained by potentiostatic electrodeposition in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ionic liquid without any additive. Further, cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests were used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of Ni2+ in the ionic liquid, revealing that the electrodeposition of nickel in this ionic liquid is an irreversible process. It was revealed that the diffusion of Ni2+ is a rate-determining step in the electrodeposition process. Further, the influence of dissolved water and applied voltage on electrodeposition were also studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
