The MHD effect was usually used to improve the mass transport during electrodeposition in a solution electrolyte. Herein, the authors reported the effect of a magnetic field on the electrode process of Al electrodeposition in a [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid composed of pure ions. Under a uniform and perpendicular magnetic field to the Cu electrode plane, electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the circuit, the cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves, and the different capacitances at the potential of zero charge (PZC) were measured, and the electrodeposition of Al was carried out at a constant c.d. A vertical magnetic field significantly reduced the resistance (activation energy) for charge transfer of electrochem. reduction of Al2Cl7–; meanwhile, the capacitance of an elec. double layer (EDL) and the d. of the electrodeposited Al layer were increased.1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 65039-09-0) were involved in the experimental procedure.
1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 65039-09-0) is an imidazolium chloride ionic liquid that can be used as:a solvent as well as catalyst for the depolymerization of oak wood lignin; a solvent in the hydrolysis of hemicellulose (xylan) to xylose using Brønsted acid catalysts.Safety of 1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride
