Electrodeposition is a process in which a metal or alloy is deposited onto a substrate material by using an electric current. This method is often used in the manufacturing of electronic components, such as circuit boards and semiconductor devices, as well as in the production of decorative finishes on jewelry and other items. Electrodeposition can also be used in the creation of composite materials and in the fabrication of nanomaterials. The process involves immersing the substrate material and a metal source, typically in the form of an electrolyte solution, in a bath and passing an electric current through them to facilitate the deposition of the metal onto the substrate. This process allows for precise control over the thickness, composition, and structure of the deposited material, making it a versatile and widely used technique in various industries.
