The present disclosure provides electrolyte solutions for electrodeposition of zinc-iron alloys, methods of forming electrolyte solutions, and methods of electrodepositing zinc-iron alloys. An electrolyte solution for electroplating can include an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine with a metal salt. An electrolyte solution can be formed by dissolving an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine in water or an aqueous solution. Electrodepositing zinc-iron alloys on a substrate can include introducing a cathode and an anode into an electrolyte solution comprising an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine. Electrodepositing can further include passing a current between the cathode and the anode through the electrolyte solution to deposit zinc and iron onto the cathode.
An electrolyte solution for electroplating an alloy coating having about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % iron content and about 80 wt % to about 99 wt % zinc content, the electrolyte solution comprising:
An electrolyte solution for electroplating an alloy coating having about 5 wt % to about 20 wt % iron content and about 80 wt % to about 95 wt % zinc content, the electrolyte solution comprising:
