The applications of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to the development electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices such as batteries and supercapacitors are reviewed. A discussion on selection parameters for optimizing EPD electrode performance, light-directed EPD, co-deposition active materials metal oxides manufactured with high porosity fibrous properties is highlighted. Additionally, mean...

Herein, titanium (Ti$^{3+}$) self-doped strontium titanate (SrTiO$_{3}$), so-called blue SrTiO$_{3}$, with a bandgap of 2.6 eV and favorable photocatalytic characteristics was fabricated through facile effective method. For electrochemical investigations, the electrophoretic deposition applied to produce SrTiO$_{3}$ thin films on (fluorine-doped tin oxide) FTO conductive substrates. The voltage...

The basic calcium phosphate mineral, hydroxyapatite (HAP) (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)), is the prototype of one of the major constituents of bone and teeth. Thin layers of HAP were coated on the surface of type 316L stainless steel by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from a 2.5% suspension in isopropyl alcohol, and this was followed by vacuum sintering at 800uC for 1 h. The development of HAP coatings wa...

We report on an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method that is suited for the preparation of both ZnO thin films and micropatterns. By applying small DC voltages between a Cu electrode and a conductive Si substrate, submersed in a suspension of ZnO quantum dots, we can cover entire substrates with ZnO layers of a tuneable thickness ranging from a few monolayers to 200 nm. The deposition occurs...

Semiconducting, insulating, and metallic nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest due to their size-dependent, quantum confinement characteristics, which make them attractive for a wide range of optical, magnetic, and electronic devices. We report on the deposition of Pd nanoparticles prepared with reverse micellae of water/AOT/isooctane solution on the surface of n-type InP substrate...

Films combining hydroxyapatite (HA) with minute amounts (ca. 1 weight %) of (rhenium doped) fullerene-like MoS₂ (IF) nanoparticles were deposited onto porous titanium substrate through electrophoretic process (EPD). The films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The SEM analysis showed relatively uniform coatings of the HA + IF on the ti...

A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...
