Electrochemical growth of thin La2O3 films on oxide and metal surfaces

This work presents a new electrochemical method (i.e. new electrolyte composition and electrolysis regime) for direct formation of La2O3 on ZrO2 and other oxide and metal substrates from nonaqueous electrolytes, data on the kinetics of the electrochemical processes and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XPS studies of the morphology, structure, dispersion and chemical composition of La2O3.
