The investigation of creep of electroplated Sn and Ni–Sn coating on copper at room temperature by nanoindentation

Sn and Sn-based alloy coatings (such as Ni–Sn) are important electrode materials in lithium ion batteries. The mechanical performance of such coatings is essential because they undergo severe volume change induced stress during charge–discharge cycling. As Ni–Sn and Sn anode materials will operate f...
