Novel Pb alloys based composite foams containing hybrid pores produced by liquid metallurgy for lightweight batteries

High-quality novel Pb alloys based composite foams reinforced with fly ash cenospheres of different diameters in a variety of volume fractions were successfully synthesized by stir casting. Several crucial parameters such as wetting between the cenospheres and molten Pb alloy, volume fraction and si...
