NASF Project on Water-in-Salt Electrolytes for Electrodeposition Advances in Q1 2026
The NASF Foundation's Project #126 is advancing research on rare earth metal electrodeposition using water-in-salt electrolytes, with Q1 2026 focusing on cobalt-neodymium co-deposition. This project aims to enhance the understanding of electrochemical behaviors to improve coating properties.

In Q1 2026, the NASF Foundation's Project #126 continued its investigation into the electrodeposition of rare earth metals using water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSE). The research, which began in 2025, emphasizes the development of small rotating disk electrodes for efficient electrochemical studies.
The current focus is on the co-deposition of cobalt-neodymium alloys, utilizing cobalt as a transition metal to explore its interactions with rare earth elements. This research could significantly enhance the functionality and properties of coatings produced from rare earth elements, potentially impacting various industrial applications.
