1. A method of operating an electrochemical cell, the method comprising:
electrodepositing a metal fuel, via an ionically conductive medium in ionic communication between a fuel electrode and a cathode, on a first corrugated portion and a second corrugated portion of the fuel electrode, the first corrugated portion and the second corrugated portion each including electrically conductive material, the first corrugated portion and the second corrugated portion each defining respective apertures therethrough, the first corrugated portion having a first corrugation axis, and the second corrugated portion having a second corrugation axis offset from the first corrugation axis; and
via the ionically conductive medium, oxidizing the metal fuel at the first corrugated portion and the second corrugated portion of fuel electrode.
