In this work we present a fundamental study of the electrodeposition of tin from Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) formed by a mixture of choline chloride and different hydrogen bond donors (HBD). Results shows that choline chloride based solvents can be successfully used for the electrodeposition of tin. Furthermore we demonstrate that the choice of hydrogen bond donor does not affect, significantly, the chemistry of tin in solution and we characterize the first stages of tin deposits at glassy-carbon (GC) electrode. The electrochemical characterization of tin deposits is carried out using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The comparison of the theoretically and experimentally obtained current transients via dimensionless plots based on Bewick-Fleischman-Thirsk (BFT) theory, Scharifker and Hills (SH) and Scharifker and Mostany (SM) models and a non-linear fitting method showed that tin nucleation on GC surface occurs though a 3D instantaneous process with growth controlled by diffusion.
