A method for varying the density of plated foam and a battery electrode comprising a plated porous metal substrate and sintered metal powder applied thereto

摘要

A process for varying the density of porous plated metal foams. Especially useful for battery plate applications, a plated foam is coated with a slurry of predetermined size metal power, particularly nickel, and then sintered. The resultant density of the metal foam may be adjusted as needed.
