Films were electrodeposited in various pH and temperatures and for different time in order to get high current efficiency and uniform deposit. Locally available salt of sulfate is preferably used as source of nickel. Sodium sulfate is used to improve the conductivity of the bath and it is found that the rate of deposition linearly increases with the increase in concentration of the sodium sulfate in the electrolytic bath. Nickel chloride is primarily added to the bath not only to increase the corrosion of the anode but also to enhance the uniformity of the deposited layer. Surface structure analyses were carried out using scanning electron microscopy. Elemental analyses are done by energy dispersive x-rays. Reasons for variation in properties and structural characteristics of metal deposit are discussed.</strong></p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the Pakistan Institute of Chemical Engineers}, author={Sadiq, Muhammad and Humayun, Muhammad and Naveed, Amir and Arif, Muhammad and Afridi, Shaista and Naeem Khan, Muhammad and Asif, Muhammad}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={29–38} }
