Here we describe the electrolytic deposition of a range of metallic coatings, alloys and composites from room temperature ionic liquids that have low environmental impact/toxicity, are inexpensive and easy to handle. We show that some of these systems can be considered as "drop-in" replacement technologies for existing aqueous processes that currently utilize strong inorganic acids and highly toxic reagents.
