Mw. Kendig et al., ELECTRODEPOSITION OF MIXED-METAL OXIDES FROM THE EUTECTIC SODIUM-POTASSIUM NITRATE MELT, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 141(2), 1994, pp. 392-397
Mixed yttrium-copper oxides, some containing several percent barium, h
ave been deposited cathodically on CuO/Cu substrates from eutectic Na-
K nitrate melts (300-degrees-C) containing dissolved Y3+ and Ba2+ nitr
ate species. Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) has also been deposited from this sy
stem by cathodic reduction of Co3+ nitrate ions at a Pt electrode. Ava
ilable data for Na-K nitrate melts have been summarized to facilitate
the design of schemes for deposition of various mixed metallic oxides.
