Competitive Advantages
- Provides an economical alternative to fabricate Al alloys and multilayer structures
- Highly scalable compared to other techniques
- Easily control of the composition and phase of deposition
Summary
USF inventors have demonstrated, for the first time, a feasible and cost-effective alternative method to fabricate Al alloys and multilayer structures by electrodeposition in non-aqueous room-temperature ionic liquids. Specifically, they have identified a method of dissolving NiCl2 in 1-Ethyl-3-methyl Imidazolium Chloride/Aluminum Chloride electrolyte to provide good conductivity, low vapor pressure, and a wide electrochemical window; all of which are limited in current conventional practices.
