It also (usually) increases the conductivity of the metal to be plated ... “burn spots”, which can flake off after the plating process. The results speak for themselves.

Instead of dealing with powder printers or metal-bearing polymers, [Robert] has a simple solution. Using a process known as mechanical plating or peen plating, he deposits a layer of copper on a ...

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs) exhibit higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the use of lithium metal as an anode in large-scale manufacturing remains ...

The metal interlayers in AL-SS-LMBs function as buffer layers by forming lithium alloys, which influence the lithium plating and stripping process. This study evaluates the effect of different ...
