Abstract:
We studied a multi-metallic microscale 3D printing based on the meniscus-confined electrodeposition (MCED). The composition of Cu/Pt alloys can be controlled by applying different bias voltages to the CuSO4/H2PtCl4 mixed solution in MCED. We find that a double-barrel system had higher Cu/Pt alloy purity (maximum 100% Cu or maximum 80% Pt) than a single-barrel system. A Λ-shaped microstructure was printed to verify the capability to multi-metal microstructures in a single printing process.
