Fast Metal Coating Without a Vacuum

Electroplating is a way to add a thin metal coating to a surface using electric current. In this process, dissolved metal cations are reduced and form a film on an electrode. The method is also called electrodeposition.

Electroplating is a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations onto an electrode surface, forming a thin film. Thin films are a layer of material that range in thickness from less than one nanometer to several micrometers. These thin films are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from solar cells to biosensor p...
