Effect of surface roughness after pulse arc plasma treatment on current test of metal anodes by A. U. Amrenova, A. M. Zhukeshov, U. B. Abdybai, Ye. E. Salimov, B. M. Useinov

“…Nevertheless, this effect inherent to arc plasma is not critical when processing non-magnetic materials with a higher melting point than zinc. Thus, pulsed arc plasma treatment is one effective method for increasing the specific surface area of anodes for metal-air batteries made of metallic materials.…”
