Template electrodeposition of metals. Review

Abstract

The works devoted to the electrodeposition of metals, alloys, and semiconductors onto the substrates through the templates of various non-conducting materials with pores of various shapes and sizes are reviewed. The composite materials, nanowires, metal foams, and the parts with nanostructured surface obtained by this method are promising materials for the electrocatalysis, electroanalysis of media, development of various sensors, modern miniature magnetic memory devices, optoelectronics, power sources, etc.
