Microcellular metal foam (MMF) is a new class of metallic material with many potential
applications such as solar energy storage. In this study we present a sphere template
electrodeposition process for bulk MMF fabrication. To overcome ion diffusion limitation and
uneven metal growth problems we explore the benefit of a pulse reverse electrodeposition
technique. An experimental study was conducted on the effect of pulse voltage and
frequency. It is shown that metal deposition uniformity can be significantly improved with …
