Niobium Electroplating Conditions

Niobium Electroplating Conditions

Niobium Electroplating Conditions

(OP)
I'm researching the elecroplating of Niobium on top of an initial electroplated finish (on a non-conductive base).

As a method, I expect to use a molten alkali metal chloride solution. I can find some indicators of required temperature, but so far none on the 'electro' setup, i.e. potential, current density etc. Also, it's unclear what other reactions occur (e.g. is significant chlorine evolved, if so, should I use a closed recombinant or vented cell etc.).

The setup would be very small (mostly for jewellery,) and at this stage I am just trying to determine the feasibility of proceeding to a development stage, though most of the required equipment is at hand.

Any contributory information would be greatly appreciated.
