Electrodeposition of copper-zinc from an alkaline bath based on EDTA

► Complexation of Cu and Zn by EDTA stabilizes the solution. ► SEM analysis shows that Cu-Zn deposits are not dendritics. ► EDS analysis shows that Cu-Zn codeposition type can be anomalous. ► X-ray diffractograms of Cu-Zn deposits indicate occurrence of different phases.
