Abstract:
      The electrochemical behaviors of Ni(II) and Mg(II) ions at a glassy carbon electrode in TEBAC-GL (1:3) ionic liquid analogues were studied. It is found that the reduction of Ni(II) on a glassy carbon electrode is a diffusion-controlled process and the diffusion coefficient of Ni(II) was 7.864′10-8 cm2?s-1. In addition, Mg can’t be reduced alone, but can co-deposited with Ni under the inducement effect of Ni(II) in this solvent. The co-deposition of Ni-Mg alloys was investigated at Cu electrodes. Ni-Mg deposits containing up to 12.13% mass fraction Mg could be electrodeposited from TEBAC-GL ionic liquid analogues at cell voltage of 2.3 V, but the Mg content of these deposits decreased as the cell voltage was increased or decreased.
