Abstract

Our R & D work was focused on the electro deposition of Zinc from imidazole as low temperature molten salt (LTMS) electrolyte with zinc chloride as a supporting salt at <100º C., without required controls from the previous existing non aqueous baths as well additive free system for the zinc deposition. Surface morphological studies and crystallographic orientation results were evaluated.
