Electrodeposition in pulse current mode of nickel-molybdenum alloy on a nickel substrate was studied. The range of current density variation from 2 to 9 A/dm2 was investigated. The range of pulse and pause step lengths is from tens to hundreds of milliseconds. SEM-images of applied coatings surfaces are obtained. The method of energy dispersive spectroscopy determined that the molybdenum content in the coating is 21-24 wt%. It was found that under transient pulse mode of electrolysis, with the pulse step corresponding to hundreds of milliseconds, the most rigid and smooth coatings of the electrolytic nickel-molybdenum alloy are obtained from ammonium-citrate electrolyte. It is shown that the percentage of nickel in the alloy does not depend on the electrolysis mode.

The electrophysical (donor-acceptor) properties of the of glass carbon (GC) surface before and after its electrochemical modification in conditions of chemisorption of fluorine-containing nanogroups were studied using the methods of scanning probe microscopy. The values of the coefficients characterizing local (for atomic-scale) electrophysical properties of the surface are calculated on the basis of obtained local spectral dependences of the tunneling current on the tunnelling voltage. Fluorination of the GC surface resulted in change of the ratio of its donor-acceptor atomic characteristics, acceleration of electrode processes, and increase of the overall tunneling activity of local places.

The paper presents the research results of formation features of nanoporous titanium oxide structure under electrochemical anodizing by AC-DC current. It is shown that addition of current AC-component (at the frequency of 100 Hz – 10 kHz) leads to increase of the coating formation rate and to structure quality changes of nanoporous TiO2 coatings: open intertubular space appears, intertubular bridges are formed and the nanotubes section form becomes round.

The paper presents the research results of formation peculiarities of barrier electrically insulated coatings based on titanium oxide (TiO2) under conditions of AC-DC electrochemical anodizing. It is shown that overlapping of AC component (at the frequency of 100 kHz – 10 MHz) leads to formation of coatings 1.2-1.4 times thicker. Dependences of the coating thickness on frequency under various ratios of the AC-component amplitude to the DC-component of anodizing voltage have been obtained.
