In this process, the lye is used to strip the surface. Then it’s on to anodization in a solution of sodium bisulfate, with a repurposed 12 V, 2 A power supply putting a bit of current through ...

“This process, called ‘droplet-scale anodization,' is not only simpler than existing manufacturing methods but also environmentally friendly, cutting down on chemical waste and energy use ...

"This is the first report demonstrating how anodization combined with acid-induced porosity can systematically tailor the electrochemical behavior of flexible printed electrodes." Traditional ...
