Yes, indeed. I have both urea and sulfourea, and happen to be running an experiment since Wednesday on both of them. xUrea+Formic acid (1 drop), in an ester.

I haven't gotten metal plating from a solution containing either of them; but they are quite conductive.

Urea also works well for increasing solubility of various salts both in molten form, and not.

My experince so far: Urea has a low electrochemical resistance window, and tends to be a little too easily broken down into hydrogen, CO2, and ammonia. Sulfourea is less reactive. I think it may be more reducing.
But that causes precipitation of sludge in a lot of experiments.

I tried urea + CholineChloride a few months ago at ?Draconic Acids? request; It ended up turning black over-night due to electrolysis and plated sludge, only. I'm not sure how to tame it ... ;)

Well, it was an idea.



Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

Idea are welcome. I am an experimentalist. I like to test out ideas. :)

I came across a 2009 patent about mixtures of nitrates for use in heat transfer. You may be interested to try one of them, if you haven't yet. I have no clue about the solubility of nickel salts in these eutectic mixtures.
