Abstract
A method uses an apparatus for fabricating a zinc plated copper electrode for a zinc anode battery. The method comprises the steps of: placing a zinc sheet and a copper sheet in a container of the apparatus; applying a first positive potential to the copper sheet; applying a first negative potential to the zinc sheet; passing a first predetermined current density; applying a second positive potential to the zinc sheet; applying a second negative potential to the copper sheet; and passing a second predetermined current density.
