Tripoli energy storage silver plating

What is silver electroplating used for?

Developed multifunctional electrically conductive fabrics by silver electroplating. Thin layer of copper acted as catalyst for uniform deposition of silver during electroplating. Silver electroplated fabrics used as electrodes for fabrication of tribolectric generators (TrEG).

How a silver layer is deposited on a fabric during electroplating?

The uniform and dense layer of silver particles was deposited on the fabrics after the deposition of thin copper layer. The prior deposition of copper acted like catalyst to enhance the formation of dense silver layer on the fabric during electroplating.

How is silver nitrate used in electroplating?

Silver electroplating. The 5 g of silver nitrate (AgNO 3) was dissolved in 1 L of distilled water. The electrolytic power source of 10 V/1A was employed to maintain constant current throughout the complete electroplating. The anode was connected to silver rod while the cathode was connected to copper particle coated conductive fabric.

Can flexible silver electroplated fabric electrodes be used in Treg self-powered devices?

The presented study described the simple, cost-effective and durable method for manufacture of flexible silver electroplated fabric electrodes to be used in construction of TrEG self-powered device applications. The uniform and dense layer of silver particles was deposited on the fabrics after the deposition of thin copper layer.

What is the performance of silver electroplated fabric as triboelectric generator?

Performance of silver electroplated fabrics as triboelectric generator The surface roughness is important property of developed TrEG during rubbing and tapping the triboelectric layers. In TrEG, the surface of conductive fabric was having some beads of silicon due to the coating of silicone rubber over it.
