INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRODEPOSITED NANOCRYSTALS

In recent years electrodeposition has emerged as a technologically and economically viable synthesis route to produce nanostructured metals, alloys and composite materials both in bulk form and as coatings of v arying thickness. This paper deals with several industrial application s including corrosion and wear resistant coatings, electronic connecto rs, heat exchanger repair technology, catalysis for hydrogen oxidation and evolution reaction electrodes, etc. (C) 1997 Acta Metallurgica In c.
