Abstract

Electrodeposition is unique in that it can be used for processing metals, ceramics, and polymers. Electrochemical strategies offer important advantages and unique possibilities in the development of nanomaterials and nanostructures. Novel electrodeposition methods have evolved into an important branch of nanotechnology. This paper presents a brief overview of recent developments in the application of electrochemical methods for synthesis of nanostructured ceramic and hybrid materials.
