| Abstract Scope |
In this study, Neodymium (Nd) and cobalt (Co) co-deposition was conducted in urea-choline chloride ionic liquid containing 0.038M cobalt chloride and 0.029M neodymium chloride. Electrodeposition was conducted at a temperature of 373K under an applied potential of -3.5V. The current density of 111A/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 urea-ChCl ionic liquids. |
