Abstract

In this research CO2 laser has been utilized to produce textured surface in zinc foil to use in electrochemical cells as cathode, modified surface was obtained by making two parallel lines in 1mm,using CO2 laser with (ʎΞ10600nm) and power of 90 watts and 10mm/s speed. The experimental evidence of the effect of surface texturing on the performance of electrochemical cell was demonstrated and investigated. The results show considerable increase in cell voltage with the textured cathode comported to the planar one, also the performance of cell with textured cathode is more stable.
