Abstract: | The electrodeposition of metallic Copper in binary mixture ionic liquid/organic solvent (tri-n-octylmethylammonium chloride (TOMAC))/chloroform (CHCl3) was investigated. The electrochemical behavior of Cu(II) in TOMAC/CHCl3 at glassy carbon working electrode at room temperature was studied by cyclic voltammetry and spectroscopy impedance. The results from the cyclic voltammetry showed that the electrodeposition of metallic Cu in the binary mixture ionic liquid/organic solvent was an irreversible process and was controlled by the diffusion of Cu(II) on a glassy carbon working electrode. The average value of αnα was found to be 0.23 at 25 °C and the diffusion coefficient (D0) of Cu(II) was calculated to be 7.12 10− 9 cm2/s at room temperature. The performance of TOMAC ionic liquid such as internal resistance has been investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs was used to observe that the copper plating was moderately dense and contains fine crystallites with average sizes of about 1 μm at room temperature. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) profile showed that the obtained film was copper. |
