Pitner and Hussey studied the electrochemistry of tin in acidic and basic AICI3/I-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride-based ionic liquids by using voltammetry and chronoamperometry at 40 °C [15]. They reported that the Sn(II) reduction process is uncomplicated at a platinum substrate, where in the atidic ionic liquid the reduction wave was observed at +0.46 V on the Pt electrode and the oxidation at +0.56 V. When they used a gold electrode instead of platinum, they observed an underpotential deposition of a tin monolayer and an additional underpotential deposition process that was attributed to the formation of tin-gold alloy at the surface. The deposition of tin on glassy carbon was controlled by nudeation.
