better control of pore size, porosity, and interpore connectivity. However, the process suffers
from a diffusion limit when the pore size is reduced to micro-and nanoscales. In this
research, an electropolishing-assisted electroless deposition (EPAELD) process is
developed to fabricate open-celled microcellular metal foams. To overcome the diffusion
limit, a polishing current is applied in the electroless deposition process to remove metal on …
