Separator Effect on Zinc Electrodeposition Behavior and Its …

Porous separators direct zinc to deposit into their pores and leave "dead zinc" upon stripping. In contrast, a nonporous separator prevents zinc penetration. Such a difference between the two types of separators is distinguished only if caution is taken to preserve the attachment of the separator to the zinc-deposited substrate during the ...
