Electrodeposition of Polyporous Sn-Ni Coating in Deep Eutectic Solvents for Removing Organic

Materials with a high specific surface area including a porous structure have been widely researched due to the applicability in the adsorption of various organic dyes. However, further application of porous materials is limited by the complicated and expensive preparation process. Herein, a Sn-Ni coating with a polyporous structure is successfully prepared via a simple and high-efficiency electrodeposition approach in deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The prepared Sn-Ni coating exhibits a uniform polyporous structure with a diameter of 15 mu m. Furthermore, the coating shows excellent adsorption capacity in the removal of acid grain black organic dyestuff. With the rise of preparation temperature from 85 to 105 degrees C, the electrochemical active surface area and the ratio of nickel increase, which further enhance dye adsorption capacity.
