Electroplating of Nanostructured Nickel in Emulsion of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Electrolyte Solution

Abstract

Abstract We report electroplating in emulsion of supercritical carbon dioxide and electrolyte solution for the first time. Compared to conventional electroplating, this technology has advantages in covering, leveling and throwing effects on plating. Moreover the particle sizes of plated nickel are sub-100 nm.
