Electrochemical Co-deposition of Neodymium and Cobalt in Urea and Choline Chloride Ionic Liquids
摘要
In this study, neodymiumneodymium (Nd) and cobaltCobalt (Co) co-deposition wasNeodymium conducted in ureaUrea-choline chlorideCholine chloride ionic liquid containing 0.038 M cobaltCobalt chloride and 0.029 M neodymiumNeodymium chloride. ElectrodepositionElectrodeposition was conducted at a temperature of 373 K under an applied potential of −3.5 V. The current density of 111 A/m2 was obtained. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of the Nd-Co deposit on the cathode surface. The morphology and elemental composition were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). SEM images suggested a uniform Co-Nd deposit with a coarse-grained structure, and EDS analysis showed the presence of Nd and Co. The results demonstrate a successful co-deposition of Co-Nd in ureaUrea-ChCl ionic liquids.
