Simultaneous Electrodeposition of Silver and Tungsten from [EMIm]Cl:AlCl3 Ionic Liquids outside the Glove Box

Ag–W two-phase system was prepared by electrodeposition using anhydrous 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [EMIm]Cl ionic-liquid (IL) solution with AlCl3 in different ratios. The deposition took place outside the glove box with a continuous Ar stream over the electrolyte at 120 °C and a pulsed-like current regime. Resultant layers show areas of Ag and W with an overall W content with a mass fraction of w W = 50% (mole fraction x W = 36.9%). The phase composition of Ag–W layers was observed by X-ray diffraction, and the chemical composition was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy.

Facile fabrication of boron nitride nanosheets–amorphous carbon hybrid film for optoelectronic applications

A good intergration of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs)–amorphous carbon (a-C) into the B–C–N composite film has been deposited successfully on silicon substrates by simultaneous electrodeposition.
