Abstract: A method of fabrication of Ni electrodes by hydrogen bubbles dynamic templated electrodeposition of Ni on a substrate, the method comprising one of: i) selecting a current, and selecting an electrodeposition time at the selected current according to a deposit target thickness on the substrate; and ii) selecting an electrodeposition time, and selecting a current during the selected electrodeposition time according to the deposit target thickness on the substrate. The dynamic hydrogen bubble templated Ni films comprises micrometer-sized pores at a surface thereof, and pore walls having a cauliflower-like secondary structure.
