The electrodeposition of Al was investigated in an ionic liquid (IL), with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate ([EMIm]AlCl4) as the electrolyte with AlCl3 precursor. The [EMIm]AlCl4 electrolyte exhibited a wide and stable electrochemical window from 3.2 to 2.3 V on a glassy carbon electrode when temperature was increased from 30 °C to 110 °C. The addition of AlCl3 into [EMIm]AlCl4 generated significant well-developed nucleation growth loops, and new coupled reduction and oxidation peaks in cyclic voltammograms corresponding to the Al deposition and dissolution, respectively. A calculation model was proposed predicting compositions of anions in AlCl3/[EMIm]AlCl4 system, and [Al2Cl7]− was found to be the active species for Al deposition. In AlCl3/[EMIm]AlCl4 (1:5), the reduction rate constants were 1.18 × 10−5 cm s−1 and 3.37 × 10−4 cm s−1 at 30 °C and 110 °C, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) microscope results showed that the metallic Al film had been successfully deposited on glassy carbon electrodes through constant-potential cathodic reductions. The [EMIm]AlCl4 was a promising electrolyte directly used for Al deposition.
