A method of forming an electrode in an electrochemical battery comprising:
- coating a reticulated substrate with a conductive material, wherein coating a reticulated substrate with a conductive material comprises:
- immersing the reticulated substrate in an ultrasonic tank containing a water-soluble conductive liquid;
- and
- applying ultrasonic wave to break down a surface tension at the boundary layer of the reticulated substrate to allow the water-soluble conductive ink to permeate an interior of the reticulated substrate to increase a reactive surface area of the reticulated substrate and promote adhesion of the conductive material;
- curing the reticulated substrate coated with the conductive material;
- and
- electroplating the reticulated substrate coated with the conductive material with a desired metal material.

A method of forming an electrode in an electrochemical battery comprising:
- immersing a reticulated open-cell polymer foam substrate in an ultrasonic tank containing a water-soluble conductive ink having conductive carbon materials;
- applying ultrasonic wave to break down a surface tension at the boundary layer of the reticulated open-cell polymer foam substrate to allow the water-soluble conductive ink to permeate an interior of the reticulated open-cell polymer foam to increase a reactive surface area of the reticulated substrate and promote adhesion of the conductive material;
- curing the reticulated open-cell polymer foam substrate coated with the conductive carbon materials;
- and
- electroplating the reticulated substrate coated with the conductive carbon material with a desired metal material.
