In March I’ve worked on my next publication. It is titled “Characterisation of Zn–Mo alloy layers electrodeposited from aqueous citrate solution”
In this paper I wrote among others that: The conditions for molybdenum with zinc electrodeposition from citrate electrolytes were studied. Partial polarisation curves were determined. The surface composition of deposits was ascertained by chemical analysis (EDS and WDXRF) and profile chemical analysis (GDOES). The morphology of coatings was
studied by SEM. The electrolysis parameters allowing electrodeposition of homogeneous Zn–Mo coatings containing various amounts of molybdenum (in the range from about 0.5 wt.% to 8 wt.%) were selected. The deposits’ morphology depends significantly on the content of molybdenum and on the substrate used. Two Zn–Mo phases are formed in deposits: a hexagonal phase with low content of molybdenum, and an amorphous or nanocrystalline phase enriched by molybdenum.
