Effect of the electrolyte composition on In and Ag-In alloy electrodeposition from cyanide electrolytes
A procedure for preparation of clear and stable indium cyanide electrolytes, containing indium salt, D(+)- Glucose and KCN is proposed. NMR investigations revealed that the formation of a complicated indium complex in which the products of the disintegration of D(+)- Glucose in the KCN-solution are closely situated to the indium ion ensures the clearness of the electrolyte. The effect of nitrate, chloride and sulphate ions on the electrochemical processes of indium and silver - indium alloy electrodeposition is studied by cyclic voltammetry. During alloy electrodeposition under galvanostatic conditions unique spatio - temporal structures are observed on the cathodic surface.
