| Abstract: | Aluminium speciation : Aluminium speciation in NTf2 ionic liquids has a strong influence on its electrodeposition from the liquid mixture. This work probed the nature of these species and proposes that the electroactive species involved are either AlCl3(NTf2)]? or AlCl2(NTf2)2]? (e.g., see figure).  |
