Abstract:
The application of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as an innovative class of environmentally friendly liquid media represents a significant advancement in materials science, especially for the development and enhancement of structural materials. Among the promising applications, DESs are particularly attractive for the electrodeposition of corrosion-resistant coatings. It is established that corrosion-resistant and protective coatings, including those based on metals, alloys, and composite materials, can be synthesized using both traditional aqueous electrolytes and non-aqueous systems, such as organic solvents and ionic liquids. The integration of DESs in electroplating introduces a unique capacity for precise control over microstructure, chemical composition, and morphology, thereby improving the electrochemical corrosion resistance and protective performance of coatings. This review focuses on the electrodeposition of corrosion-resistant and protective coatings from DES-based electrolytes, emphasizing their environmental, technological, and economic benefits relative to traditional aqueous and organic solvent systems. Detailed descriptions are provided for the electrodeposition processes of coatings based on zinc, nickel, and chromium from DES-based baths. The corrosion-electrochemical behavior and protective characteristics of the resulting coatings are thoroughly analyzed, highlighting the potential and future directions for developing anti-corrosion and protective coatings using DES-assisted electroplating techniques.
