Abstract:
A method for electrodepositing a uniformly thick coating on a metallic mesh, said method comprising the steps of:providing a metallic mesh, said metallic mesh comprising at least one aperture having a shape, wherein each said aperture has at least one dimension less than about 10 micrometers; immersing said metallic mesh in a bath of electrolyte, said electrolyte having an initial concentration and comprising cations and anions in a solvent; and applying an overvoltage to said metallic mesh while immersed in said bath so as to electrodeposit a uniformly thick coating on said metallic mesh thereby forming an initially coated metallic mesh, wherein said initially coated metallic mesh has at least one aperture having at least one dimension less than about 10 micrometers.
