Switching transition states with changing electrode potential: Zn(II)/Zn electrodeposition on glassy carbon in the N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid

The mechanisms for the electrodeposition and stripping of Zn 2+|Zn in the N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid are investigated via cyclic voltammetry. Analysis showed that the deposition of Zn onto a bulk Zn surface occurred via a two-electron process, with t...
