While researching copper plating graphite for a project, [Dave] stumbled upon a blog post illustrating a brilliant approach to metal plating 3D printed parts. Our pioneers in this new technique are ...

Copper plating has been extensively employed in the fabrication of embedded packaging to reach high-density, high-speed, high performance electronic products. With through holes (TH) as well as blind ...

The rising price and low availability of raw materials such as silver are leading to higher costs in producing photovoltaic modules. Now researchers at the Fraunhofer ISE have developed a novel ...

The UNSW researchers used copper plating on the front grid of TOPCon cells to reduce performance losses linked to contaminants. Image: UNSW/Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, CC BY 4.0.

Like most of us, [Clem] wants to 3D print in metal. Metal 3D printers do exist, but they are generally way out of reach for most of us garage hackers. As an alternative, [Clem] uses a homebrew ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion ...
