Design of iron-based multifunctional alloys electrodeposited from complexing electrolytes /
There is a growing focus on sustainability, characterized by making changes that anticipate future needs and adapting them to present requirements. Sustainability is reflected in various areas of materials science as well. Thus, more research is focused on the fabrication of advanced materials based on earth-abundant metals. The role of iron and its alloys is particularly significant as iron is the second most abundant metal on our planet. Additionally, the electrochemical method offers an environmentally friendly approach for synthesizing multifunctional alloys. Thus, iron can be successfully codeposited with a targeted metal from complexing electrolytes, opening a large horizon for a smart tuning of properties and enabling various applications. In this review, we discuss the practical aspects of the electrodeposition of iron-based alloys from complexing electrolytes, with a focus on refractory metals as multifunctional materials having magnetic, catalytic, mechanical, and antimicrobial/antibacterial properties with advanced thermal, wear, and corrosion resistance. Peculiarities of electrodeposition from complexing electrolytes are practically significant as they can greatly influence the final structure, composition, and designed properties by adjusting the electroactive complexes in the solution. Moreover, these alloys can be further upgraded into composites, multi-layered, hybrid/recovered materials, or high-entropy alloys.
