Abstract
Abstract An electrode is described which includes a current collector and a porous conducting substrate. The electric resistance of the conducting substrate is varied generally by a shaped structure resulting in low and high electrical resistance portions. The improved electrode increases the uniformity of electrodeposited zinc thereon.
