Abstract
The electrodeposition of Ni-TiO2 composite coatings was carried out from a plating bath based on a deep eutectic solvent, ethaline (a eutectic mixture of ethylene glycol and choline chloride). The effects of electrolyte composition and electrolysis conditions on the content of Titania particles, microstructure and microhardness were investigated. The introduction of TiO2 nano-particles into Ni-matrix was shown to improve the corrosion stability and electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized composite electrodeposits.
