Electrodeposition of bright gold—a green path using hypoxanthine as a complexing agent

Abstract

A simple, low cost, stable and environmentally friendly gold plating electrolyte containing hypoxanthine as a complexing agent is introduced. Bright and compact gold deposits could be obtained by using PEI-1800 and SUNO (a compound that contains the element sulfur) as additives for electrodepositing gold on a nickel substrate.
