Abstract

Purpose. The direction of practical use in power engineering of the discovered phenomenon of electrochemical phase formation in metals and alloys via a supercooled liquid state stage is required to determine. Methodology. The methods of scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy were used. Findings. The surface morphology and electrical properties of metallic (copper and nickel) foils obtained by the usual method of electrodeposition and the method of stimulated nucleation during solidification of a supercooled liquid phase of the metal being electrodeposited are studied. The effect of reducing the transient electrical resistance at the current lead / electrode interface has been established when using copper or nickel foil with a branched surface morphology as a current lead. The direction of practical use of the established phenomenon in the production of chemical sources of current is determined. Originality. The relationship between the surface morphology and the electrical properties of the metallic foil is revealed. Practical value. The obtained results open the prospect of manufacturing chemical current sources having increased power and stability.
