It is necessary to increase the roughness of the substrate to aid the adhesion of the coating to the smooth electrodes; this is especially critical for the fragile carbon-polymer composite. High-energy conditions increase the strain caused by the mismatch between coefficients of thermal expansion when coating the thin steel and aluminium sheets, and degraded the carbon-polymer composite and nickel foam. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the spraying parameters to lower-energy conditions in order to achieve well-bonded and homogeneous coatings on all four substrates and avoid the presence of cracks in their cross-section area. The suitability of the coated materials as battery electrodes was studied.7 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esElèctrodesRevestimentsTitaniElectrodesCoatingsTitaniuminfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6621962020-04-28info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
