Title:
HIGH AREA STACKED LAYERED METALLIC STRUCTURES AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/036394
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This disclosure provides implementations of high surface area stacked layered metallic structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related methods. A plurality of stacked layers on a substrate may be manufactured from a plating bath including a first metal and a second metal. A modulated plating current can deposit alternate first metal layers and alloy layers, the alloy layers including the first metal and the second metal. Gaps between the alloy layers can be formed by selectively etching some portions of the first metal layers to define a stacked layered structure. Stacked layered structures may be useful in applications to form capacitors, inductors, catalytic reactors, heat transfer tubes, non-linear springs, filters, batteries, and heavy metal purifiers.
