## Abstract

An aspect of the subject technology/invention of the present disclosure includes electrode structures or elements/components that have (e.g., present) fractal and/or self-complementary shapes or structures, e.g., on a surface. Such shapes or structures can be pre-existing. The electrodes can be made of any suitable material. The electrodes may function or operate or be used as a “seed” structure to incorporate or receive a material or materials useful for lattice assisted nuclear reactions and/or cold fusion processes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electrode including a surface having one or more self-complementary features.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electrode of claim 1, wherein the self-complementary features comprise nickel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electrode of claim 1, wherein the electrode comprises palladium, niobium, lithium containing ceramics, tantalum, vanadium, platinum, iridium, boron-10, or nickel-boron alloy.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electrode of claim 1, wherein the self-complementary features are pre-existing features made prior to use for a LANR or cold fusion process.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electrode of claim 1, wherein the self-complementary features have constant impedance across a surface of the electrode.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electrode of claim 5, wherein the electrode has constant impedance at multiple frequencies.
