Abstract
Among different methods of fabrication of electrocatalytic coatings, the electrodeposition seems to be the most convenient and widely used. The electrodeposition is an available, inexpensive, versatile, simple and fast technique which allows synthesizing materials with controlled composition, structure, surface morphology and electrocatalytic activity. This review reports recent trends, promising directions and novel approaches concerning cathodic electrodeposition and characterization of electrocatalytic coatings. A special attention is paid to the electrocatalysts based on electrodeposited nickel, iron, cobalt, copper, chromium, noble metals, their alloys and composites. The application of non-stationary current regimes (pulse current and linear potential sweep) as well as new type of plating baths (room-temperature ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents) is highlighted. The influence of alloying and after-treatment (dealloying, selective anodic dissolution, etc.) on the electrocatalytic properties of electrodeposits is considered. Favorable influence of the formation of nanostructures upon the electrocatalytic performance of electrodeposited materials is shown. Potential ways for improving the electrocatalytic characteristics of electrodeposited coatings are described.
