Influence of CeO₂ and TiO₂ Particles on Physicochemical Properties of Composite Nickel Coatings Electrodeposited at Ambient Temperature.

ABSTRACT: The Ni-TiO₂ and Ni-CeO₂ composite coatings with varying hydrophilic/hydrophobic characteristics were fabricated by the electrodeposition method from a tartrate electrolyte at ambient temperature. To meet the requirements of tight regulation by the European Chemicals Agency classifying H₃BO₃ as a substance of very high concern, Rochelle salt was utilized as a buffer solution instead. The novelty of this study was to implement a simple one-step galvanostatic electrodeposition from the low-temperature electrolyte based on a greener buffer compared to traditionally used, aiming to obtain new types of soft-matrix Ni, Ni-CeO₂, and Ni-TiO₂ coatings onto steel or copper substrates. The surface characteristics of electrodeposited nic
