Significant improvements in ECALE deposit morphology and quality were reported as achieved by switching from a thin layer cell to a thick layer H-form cell, integrated in an automated deposition system [46]. Thin epitaxial films of zinc blende CdTe, CdSe, and CdS with predominate (111) orientations were grown.

Thus films can be divided into two groups according to their morphology. Discontinuous films are porous, have a low resistance and are formed at potentials close to the equilibrium potential of the corresponding electrode of the second kind. They often have substantial thickness (up to 1 mm). Films of this kind include halide films on copper, silver, lead and mercury, sulphate films on lead, iron and nickel oxide films on cadmium, zinc and magnesium, etc. Because of their low resistance and the reversible electrode reactions of their formation and dissolution, these films are often very important for electrode systems in storage batteries.

Practically every battery system uses carbon in one form or another. The purity, morphology and physical form are very important factors in its effective use in all these applications. Its use in lithium-ion batteries (Li-Ion), fuel cells and other battery systems has been reviewed previously [1 -8]. Two recent applications in alkaline cells and Li-Ion cells will be discussed in more detail. Table 1 contains a partial listing of the use of carbon materials in batteries that stretch across a wide spectrum of battery technologies and materials. Materials stretch from bituminous materials used to seal carbon-zinc and lead acid batteries to synthetic graphites used as active materials in lithium ion cells.

ZnO particle morphologies are very complex and diversiform in comparison with Ti02. Thus, monodispersed ZnO particles with well-defined morphological characteristics, such as spherical, ellipsoidal, needle, prismatic, and rod-like shapes, have been obtained. Aggregates composed of these basic shape particles have also been achieved. The methods used for synthesis of these ZnO powders include alkali precipitation [214-216], thermal decomposition [217], hydrothermal synthesis [218], organo-zinc hydrolysis [219], spray pyrolysis [220], and other routes.
