Hello,
I have recently started working in electrodeposition of metals and alloys and I am quite new to this field. In literature I have seen that sometimes its electrochemically possible to form an alloy even if its thermodynamically not feasible to form at that temperature. Can somebody kindly recommend me some good literature on the theory of electrochemical alloy formation? especially at room or slightly elevated temperatures (100-150 oC).
Thank you.
Bassically, it is possible form alloys at room temberature due to the Nernst equation: if you able to get a similar reduction potential with two different metals you depotit a mixture (alloy) of the two. You can achive this goal adjusting temperature, pH, applied voltage, concentration and (expecially) using ligands.
In my knowledge the most recent review on electrodeposition of alloys is this: 10.3390/coatings5020195

Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of hydrogen[1,2] and alkali[3-6] metals (low temperature) alloys, as potential electrodes for energy storage, are well known, today.
