Understanding the Current Distribution and Mass Transport Properties in 3D-Printed Architected Flow-Through Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: Architected materials offer promising advancements in energy storage by enabling highly customizable, high-surface-area, ordered, and low-defect porous structures. This study investigates the current distribution and mass transport within complex 3D-printed lattice electrodes under flow-through conditions. Conductive lattices were fabricated using microstereolithography followed by pyrolytic carbonization. Lattice geometry effects were analyzed by varying the unit cell type [simple cubic (SC), body- and face-centered cubic (BCC/FCC), IsoTruss, and Octet], porosity, and current density. Current distribution uniformity was investigated using a model high-efficiency copper deposition reaction. Local film thickness distributions were predicted using a numerical model and validated experimental
