Abstract

Cobalt hydroxide films on AISI 304 stainless steel were prepared using the electrochemical deposition from neutral cobalt acetate solutions under galvanostatic conditions. The obtained films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis. It was established that as-deposited films consisted of α-modification with intercalated CH3COO- ions. The lamellar morphology of cobalt hydroxide film was retained in Co3O4 films obtained after the initial cobalt hydroxide film thermal treatment at 673 K. Electrochemical oxidation of as-deposited hydroxide films led to the formation of black oxohydroxide film, CoO(OH).
