“…Among the pool of host materials, CF has garnered attention due to its superior corrosion resistance and excellent electronic conductivity. 37 Nevertheless, like other host materials, the application of CF is not without its limitations. The inherent lithiophobic nature of Cu hinders effective accommodation of Li and induces uneven Li nucleation.…”

Lithium metal is a promising anode candidate to achieve high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (3860 mA h g −1 ) and low electrochemical potential (−3.04 V vs S.H.E). Unfortunately, the commercialization of lithium metal anodes is hindered by the growth of Li dendrites and the infinite Li volume changes during the cycling process. Herein, we introduce a 3D hierarchical multimetal oxide nanowire framework as a current collector for Li metal anodes. The hierarchical metal oxide layers of CoO and Cu x O provide abundant Li nucleation sites and thus offer uniform Li plating and regulate Li nucleation during the charge/discharge process. As a result, half cells present a prolonging Coulombic efficiency of 97% at 1 mA cm −2 with a capacity of 1 mA h cm −2 for over 300 cycles. A stable cyclability of symmetric cells is demonstrated under 1 mA cm −2 with a capacity of 1 mA h cm −2 for 1500 h. Full cells paired with an LFP cathode show a stable capacity of 131.5 mA h g −1 with a capacity retention of 92% for 200 cycles. These results will shed insights into the design of 3D Cu current collectors for high-performance composite Li metal anodes.

“…[32,33] Yet, experimental measurements at foam electrodes remain critical to validate these models for modern energy storage technologies. [34] These validations are challenging, mainly due to the fact that local liquid-phase potentials at different points along and across the metal foam are considerably difficult to measure in practice. Moreover, local current and potential distributions reside, fundamentally, within the irregular polyhedral cells (each of their sides is an open pore) that form such cellular foam materials.…”

This work describes a novel methodology for measuring the potential distribution within the porous copper foam electrode of a zinc‐air/silver hybrid (ZASH) flow battery by using local potential probes. The suitability of dynamic hydrogen electrodes (DHEs) and a quasi‐reference electrode as probes is evaluated, with the latter chosen in view of stability. Liquid and solid‐phase potentials are recorded at varying applied current densities over multiple charge‐discharge cycles. Various zinc structures are found within specific overpotential ranges, with moss‐like structures appearing between 7.8 mV and 13.2 mV and the desired boulder structures in the range of 22 mV to 100 mV. Regardless of the current density, the highest liquid‐phase potentials are always measured in the outermost region of the porous foam near to the separator. In practice, this means that increasing the thickness of the copper foam over about 5 mm does not provide significant performance benefits. Conversely, solid‐phase potentials across the copper foam remain nearly uniform, resulting in negligible effects on local overpotential. The presented technique provides unique insights into the behavior of porous electrodes in electrochemical energy conversion technologies, facilitating the determination of the optimal properties for maximum efficiency, such as electrode thickness.

“…In a few works [7,8,10], melt foaming, direct foaming with a blowing agent, and investment casting were used to fabricate metal or alloy foams. In a few other works [19,[22][23][24], electrodeposition techniques and powder metallurgy methods were used to fabricate alloy foams. Some studies [25][26][27] investigated the microstructure, mechanical properties and process parameters of the developed foams, and some other studies [28,29] concentrated on the functional performance and optimum pore-size structure.…”

Development and Mechanical Characterization of Ni-Cr Alloy Foam Using Ultrasonic-Assisted Electroplating Coating Technique

Metal foams and alloy foams are a novel class of engineering materials and have numerous applications because of their properties such as high energy absorption, light weight and high compressive strength. In the present study, the methodology adopted to develop a Ni-Cr alloy foam is discussed. Polyurethane (PU) foam of 40PPI (parts per inch) pore density was used as the precursor and coating techniques such as electroless nickel plating (ELN), ultrasonic-assisted electroplating of nickel (UAEPN), and pack cementation or chromizing were used to develop the Ni-Cr alloy foam. The surface morphology, strut thickness and minimum weight gain after each coating stage were evaluated. It was observed from the results that the adopted coating techniques did not damage the original ligament cross-section of the PU precursor. The minimum weight gain and the coating thickness after the UAEPN process were observed to be 42 g and 40–60 μm, respectively. The properties such as porosity percentage, permeability and compressive strength were evaluated. Finally, the pressure drop through the developed foam was estimated and verified to determine whether the developed foam can be used for filtering applications.
