Abstract
The effects of potential and the presence of B(OH)3 on the electrodeposition of Pt1-xCox alloys from aqueous chloride-based solutions have been investigated, and the properties of the resulting films characterized. Films deposited at potentials <-0.65 V vs SCE had >90 atomic % Co and were hexagonal close packed. Those deposited at >-0.65 V showed a monotonic decrease in cobalt content with increasing potential and were face centered cubic. The structural change coincided with a distinct cusp in the composition potential relationship, and with a prominent voltametric feature, possibly relating to nucleation of the hcp phase. The presence of B(OH)3 produced a sharp minimum in both Coulombic efficiency and deposition rate at potentials near -0.65 V and almost entirely suppressed the voltametric feature. The presence of B(OH)3 did not strongly affect the magnetic behavior of films deposited at >-0.55 V (i.e., those with compositions less than about 40% cobalt), but resulted in generally lower maximum magnetizations for films deposited at more reducing potentials, and a much lower magnetization for films deposited at -0.65 V. Pt1-xCox films (x=0.2) deposited at -0.35 V had Curie temperatures (TC) in the room temperature range.Citation
