The above-mentioned synthesis techniques are impractical for industrial scale applications, necessitating the development of alternative synthetic routes for large-scale applications. In this regard, Gilvaldo et al. (2016) explored a more practical synthesis approach through sonoelectrochemistry. Sonoelectrochemistry seems efficient and practical as it is widely applied for applications such as electrodeposition/electroplating and nano-particles synthesis. Figure 15.6 depicts a schematic for the synthesis of MOF through sonoelectrochemical method.

The authors are not aware of a published analysis of the influence of different types of agitation on the electrodeposition of Zn-Co coatings. There are some reports about the properties of alloys obtained from different electrolytes under magnetic stirring.12,13 Sonoelectrochemistry is utilised for different purposes today, such as in electroanalysis, composites production, environmental remediation, as well as electro-organic synthesis.14,15 When ultrasound is applied in the plating bath it can enhance mass transfer and reduce the thickness of the diffusion layer favouring the electrodeposition process. The ultrasound assisted deposition can also reduce grain size and porosity of deposits, which is a very important factor in corrosion resistance of coatings.16–18 This current work is aimed at analysing the influence of ultrasound agitation on the electrodeposition of Zn-Co coatings and determining its effect on the morphology, cobalt content, structure and preferential orientation, as well as corrosion stability of Zn-Co alloy deposits. The influence of ultrasound agitation on the properties of the deposits will be compared with those obtained by magnetic stirring. The results will also contribute to building background knowledge as a first step for the development of other alloy coatings which are more environmentally friendly.
