A pair of electrodes is immersed in an acidic aqueous solution of iridium sulfate (Ir (SO2)2) or iridium tetrachloride (IrCQ4) with a pH of around 1, and electrolysis is performed at an appropriate current density to deposit a brownish-brown film on the cathode side. I can do it.

For example, prepare a solution of 5 g/Q iridium tetrachloride with a pH of 1.0, set the solution temperature to 25°C, and set the electrodeposition current conductivity to 2 m
A/al, when the electrodeposition time was set to 30 minutes and the glass substrate coated with a transparent conductive film was used as the cathode side, electrolysis was performed, and a brownish-brown film was deposited on the transparent conductive film. However, the coating deposited under these conditions is non-uniform and has uneven color.

[Effect] The above-mentioned non-uniformity of the deposited film is due to the acidity of the electrodepositing solution.
It is presumed that this is because hydrogen is easily generated on the cathode side and the electrodeposition efficiency is low.6 However, when sodium carbonate is added to the above electrodeposition solution to make the liquid alkaline, the electrodeposition efficiency is significantly improved. With an alkaline electrodepositing solution, electrodeposition can be performed at a low current density of 100 μA/d or less.

Furthermore, in this case, a brownish-brown film was deposited on the cathode, and a blue-black film was also deposited on the transparent conductive film used for the anode. The film deposited on the cathode is thought to be Ir(OH) based on the precipitation mechanism, and the film deposited on the anode is thought to be Ir(OH).

The thickness of the blue-black film deposited on the anode largely depends on the pH of the electrolyte. That is, if the pH of the electrodepositing solution is less than 8, electrodeposition will not occur at a current density of about 100 μA/cd.

Furthermore, the alkaline electrodepositing solution has the property that when it is left to stand, the liquid properties change and the electrodeposition efficiency changes. In order to prevent this deterioration of the electrodeposition solution over time, it is effective to add a complexing agent to the electrodeposition solution. for example.

When oxalic acid is added as a complexing agent, the color of the deposit changes from dark brown to deep purple. This purple electrodeposition solution is a stable solution, with little change in pH over time and little variation in electrodeposition efficiency. .

Further, the brown electrodeposited film deposited on the cathode becomes colorless by releasing anions at the electrode, and changes to brown again by injection of anions. Exactly the same change is observed in the blue-black electrodeposited film deposited on the anode. In this case a blue-black-colorless change occurs. Therefore, these films can be applied to electrochromic displays/devices.
