Electrodeposition of Al-Mn-Zr ternary alloy films from the Lewis acidic aluminum chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid and their corrosion properties

The smooth and dense Al-Mn-Zr ternary alloy film with a hierarchical micro-nanostructure prepared by the electrodeposition in ionic liquid manifests an excellent anticorrosion performance in the chloride-containing solution.130
