Abstract: Methods are proposed for manufacturing dendrite-resistant lithium metal electrodes suitable for incorporation into lithium metal batteries. In an embodiment, the method involves first electroplating a copper sheet onto a surface of a single crystal of silicon, the silicon being doped to form a p-type or an n-type semiconductor, and then further electroplating the copper sheet with lithium metal. The lithium-electroplated copper sheet thus manufactured provides a lithium electrode that is resistant to dendrite formation during cycling of lithium metal batteries when compared to conventionally manufactured lithium electrodes. Methods are further provided of manufacturing lithium sheets by directly electroplating lithium metal onto single crystals of doped silicon, the lithium sheets configured for incorporation into lithium metal electrodes that are resistant to dendrite formation during cycling of lithium metal batteries.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrolyte solutions for electrodeposition of zinc-iron alloys, methods of forming electrolyte solutions, and methods of electrodepositing zinc-iron alloys. An electrolyte solution for electroplating can include an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine with a metal salt. An electrolyte solution can be formed by dissolving an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine in water or an aqueous solution. Electrodepositing zinc-iron alloys on a substrate can include introducing a cathode and an anode into an electrolyte solution comprising an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal acetate, a citric acid, and glycine. Electrodepositing can further include passing a current between the cathode and the anode through the electrolyte solution to deposit zinc and iron onto the cathode.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for plating magnetic cores by periodically transferring a plate directly back and forth between a metal plating environment and an insulation deposit environment. This direct metal to insulation to metal plating is enabled by a nano-scale insulation layer that provides an imperfect coverage of the metal layer while still keeping sufficient insulation to prevent eddy current formation—even during high-frequency current applications. Therefore, this invention enables the practical creation of magnetic cores having layers with widths even under one nanometer and can generate cores having a layer scale that can be varied to suit a variety of uses in the microelectronic industry.

Abstract: A metal circuit structure based on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) contains: a substrate, a first metal layer attached on the substrate, a second metal layer formed on the first metal layer, and an intermediate layer defined between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. A first surface of the intermediate layer is connected with the first metal layer, and a second surface of the intermediate layer is connected with the second metal layer. The intermediate layer is made of a first material, the second metal layer is made of a second material, and the first material of the intermediate layer does not act with the second material of the second metal layer.

Abstract: A steel cord that is suitable for reinforcing rubber articles such as tires. The inventive steel cord enables to completely eliminate the presence of cobalt in a tire when combined with the proper cobalt free compound. Advantageously the steel cord adheres equally well to rubbers containing organic cobalt salts. The inventive wire is different from prior art steel cords in that the brass coating now comprises iron particles. The iron particles have a size between 10 nm and 10 000 nm. The presence of iron mitigates the adhesion retention loss of the rubber to steel cord bond in a hot and humid environment. It is a further advantage that the inventive steel cord does not contain any intentionally added cobalt thereby contributing to the elimination of harmful substances in the production area as well as the environment.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing a printhead for a 3D manufacturing system that uses metal electrodeposition to construct parts. The printhead may be constructed by depositing layers on top of a backplane that contains control and power circuits. Deposited layers may include insulating layers and an anode layer that contain deposition anodes that are in contact with the electrolyte to drive electrodeposition. Insulating layers may for example be constructed of silicon nitride or silicon dioxide; the anode layer may contain an insoluble conductive material such as platinum group metals and their associated oxides, highly doped semiconducting materials, and carbon based conductors. The anode layer may be deposited using chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition. Alternatively in one or more embodiments the printhead may be constructed by manufacturing a separate anode plane component, and then bonding the anode plane to the backplane.
