Abstract

The electro deposition of zinc-nickel alloy was carried out in the presence of Lawsone (2-hydroxy1,4-napthoquinone) isolated from Lawsonia inermis Linn leaf. The bath constituents were optimized through Hull cell experiments. Operating parameters such as pH, temperature and current density were also optimized. The current efficiency and throwing power are measured at different current densities.SEM photomicrographs revealed fine-grained structure of the deposit from the optimum bath. IR spectrum of the scratched deposit showed inclusion of addition agent. XRD and EDAX studies revealed the inclusion of lawsone.
