A number of studies have reported the effects of additives on metal coatings electrochem. deposited from deep eutectic solvents (DESs). However, no previous study has studied the influences of Me nicotinate (MN) as an additive on the electrodeposition of Zn on a Cu substrate from a DES. The results of this study show that MN significantly develops the Zn deposition in this system compared to the corresponding system in its absence. This is the 1st study to date to show that a mirror Zn coating can be obtained on a Cu substrate using such a mechanism. Various electrochem. methods such as cyclic voltammetry, chronocoulometry, and chronoamperometry were used to understand the electrochem. properties of Zn electrolytes in the absence and presence of MN. These experiments found that the redox reaction currents decline when the additive was included in the Zn electrolyte, and that Zn deposition followed an instantaneous nucleation mechanism in the absence of the additive while in its presence the mechanism was closer to that of progressive growth. Further, the current efficiency decreased from 98.99% in the absence of additive to ∼82% as a result of including the additive in the Zn plating bath, according to electrochem. quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) data. The resultant roughness, thickness and surface morphol. of the deposited Zn were characterized using at. force microscopy, SEM, and x-ray diffraction, indicating that Me nicotinate, as an additive, functions as a highly influential brightener that gave highly homogeneous and flat Zn deposits.
