Electrodeposition of Chromium Black from Ionic Liquids

Abstract
The efficient electrodeposition of chromium from an ionic liquid formed between choline chloride and CrClr6H20 is demonstrated. The addition of lithium chloride is found to allow the deposition of black chromium films that afford excellent corrosion resistance. The deposits formed are crack-free and made up of nanocrystalline material.
