Electrochemical Deposition of Composites Using Deoxycholic Acid Dispersant

A biomimetic method has been used for the electrodeposition of carbon nanotubes (NTs) and composite films using a commercial bile acid. Thin films of deoxycholic acid (DCH) were prepared potentiodynamically and galvanostatically from deoxycholic acid sodium salt (DCNa) solutions. The anodic deposition yield has been investigated at different DCNa concentrations. The electrodeposition mechanism involved electromigration of anionic DC− species, …
