A possible way to electrodeposit Si has been studied in trimethyl-n-hexylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide containing 0.1 mol L -1 SiCl 4 . Cyclic voltammetry suggests that SiCl 4 should be reduced to form Si at around -2.0 V. Potentiostatic electrolysis at this potential forms a yellowish-brown film on a Ni substrate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy reveal that the electrodeposited film contains amorphous Si. It is also found from scanning electron microscopy observation and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis that a highly uniform and dense thin film can be obtained in the initial stage of electrodeposition and that the electrodeposited Si film becomes rougher and thicker with the progress of electrolysis.
