This article presents a series of preliminary results regarding the electrodeposition of bismuth, tellurium, and bismuth telluride films at 60 degree C from ionic liquids, containing a mixture of choline chloride and oxalic acid (ChClaOxA). Ten millimolar concentration solutions of BiCl3 and TeO2 we...
