The development of nanocrystalline materials prepared by electrodeposition

The characteristics and the synthesis principle of nanocrystalline materials prepared by electrodeposition are summaried in this paper. The research status of nanocrystalline materials and the common methods preparing nanocrystalline materials are reviewed, such as direct current electrodeposition, pulse electrodeposition, composite electrodeposition and jet electrodeposition. Finally, some prospects on development and applications of nanocrystalline materials in material science are proposed in this paper.
