Synthesis of a (Ti, Mo)B2 coating by electro‐codeposition in NaCl–KCl–AlCl3–MoO3 melt containing TiB2 nanoparticles

Abstract This paper demonstrates the availability of electro‐codeposition (i.e., the simultaneous occurrence of electrophoretic deposition of nanoparticles and electrochemical deposition of metal ions) in molten salts without the assistance of stirring of the bath. In molten NaCl–KCl–AlCl 3 –MoO 3 system containing TiB 2 nanoparticles at 710°C, the electro‐codeposition of TiB 2 nanoparticles and Mo(VI) ions has been achieved, and a (Ti, Mo)B 2 coating has been prepared.
