  • Method of forming metal coating
    Patent number: 10301735
    Abstract: A method of forming a metal coating includes: disposing a solid electrolyte membrane (13) between an anode (11) and a substrate (B) which forms a cathode; bringing a solution (L) containing metal ions into contact with an anode-side portion of the solid electrolyte membrane (13); and causing, in a state where the solid electrolyte membrane (13) is in contact with the substrate (B), a current to flow from the anode (11) to the cathode so as to form a metal coating formed of the metal on the surface of the substrate (B). The metal coating is formed by repeating a current-flowing period (T) in which a current flows from the anode (11) to the cathode and a non-current-flowing period (N) in which a current does not flow between the anode (11) and the cathode.
