Abstract

A study of the electrodeposition of rhenium from aqueous plating baths, with emphasis on semi‐quantitative information about cathode current efficiencies, is reported. Rhenium can be plated as a shiny, metallic, and adherent cathode deposit from several different types of aqueous baths, but the cathode current efficiencies were quite low, ranging from about fifteen per cent to less than one per cent. The sulfuric acid bath was found to be the most satisfactory rhenium plating bath. A new citric acid type of plating bath for rhenium is also described.
