Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are seen as a solution for energy storage of the future and have become indispensable, especially in electromobility. However, when metallic lithium forms and deposits during ...

Surface plating is widely used to repair or salvage critical components in the marine industry. As many components need disassembly, the repair process is typically carried out when the ship is in dry ...

Fraunhofer ISE development also uses recyclable aluminum for masking – removing need for problem polymers. Thin copper contacts mean the silicon layer does not experience much shading. The rising ...

The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers have developed a method for electroplating lithium-ion battery cathodes, ...

Electroplating intermediates refer to a class of fine chemicals used as electroplating additives. Unlike the salt used in the plating production process, the electroplating intermediate is an additive ...

Here’s a PCB fabrication process that makes us envious. It’s pretty darn close to fab-house quality at home. [Cpirius] is using a CNC mill and through hole plating technique to produce his ...
