Symposium 7
Electrodeposition for material synthesis and nanostructure fabrication

Sponsoring Division: Division 4, Electrochemical Materials Science

This symposium will focus on various aspects of electrochemical deposition of metals, semiconductors, metal oxides, organic polymers and composites. Emphasis is placed on fabrication of nanostructured architectures and new opportunities in design and manufacture of energy conversion, microelectronic, magnetic, and MEMS devises as well as sensors.

Topics include but are not limited to:
- Surface engineering and patterning: self-organized 2D or 3D structures and pattern formation via electrochemical dissolution or deposition approaches
- Role of solution additives such as surfactant in controlling deposition processes
- Electrochemical approaches for new materials: - nanocomposites obtained by electrodeposition (magnetic materials, functional coatings, biocompatible and biomimetic materials)
- New conducting and semiconducting materials and structures prepared by and for electrochemical technologies
- Novel experimental and theoretical methods for nanoscale characterization of deposit structure, properties, and phase formation
- Theory and modelling of electrochemical growth from elementary steps to final structures
