Abstract

Owing to its unique advantages of cost-effectiveness, reliability, and also the atom-by-atom replication on the given substrate surface profile, electrochemical process has been widely used for high-quality coatings. The present chapter presents a review and summary of the principles of electrochemical processes; the microstructure and composition control of metals, metal oxides, silicon, non-oxides, and conductive polymers in electrochemical process; and also their recent applications in microfabrication, energy conversation and storage, self-protection as well as drug delivery, etc.
