A process of electrodepositing a metal from an organic phase containing a salt or complex of that metal includes the steps of creating a dispersion of the organic phase in a conducting aqueous electrolyte with which it is immiscible and electrodepositing the metal onto a cathode which is immersed in the organic phase or the dispersion.

Emulsion electrowinning

A method of selectively plating an area of a substrate surface is disclosed. The method comprises contact masking at least one charged anode, spaced from the surface, with a dielectric member which is maintained between the anode and the surface, along their corresponding opposed surface areas, out of contact with the surface. The surface is cathodically charged. The masked anode is contacted with a stream of an electroplating electrolyte. The stream of electrolyte then contacts at least a portion of the charged surface, including the area to be plated, to fully flow electrolyte thereover to selectively electroplate the area.
