1. An apparatus comprising:
a waveform generator electrically connected to an electrochemical cell, the waveform generator inducing an alternating current electric waveform on an anode of the electrochemical cell in the presence of a charge or a discharge potential in the electrochemical cell, the alternating current waveform distributing charge current or discharge current transverse to an interface between the anode and an electrolyte of the electrochemical cell.
