Abstract
- For the first time, the anodic behavior of platinum and titanium in ionic liquids (ILs) based on the imidazolium cation was investigated. ILs were established to possess a set of advantages compared with the traditional sulfuric acid electrolytes. It isn't necessary to maintain both a particular temperature and to use environmentally-harmful reagents, such as methanol or hydrofluoric acid, when electropolishing metals in IL media. The addition of propylene glycol to BMImCl (1 : 1) results in the formation of layers of titanium dioxide nanotubes on the metal surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
