“…Depending on the final applications, different techniques have been explored, such as chemical methods, laser structuring technique, laser nitriding process, etc., [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Another method that could be explored to reduce the roughness and the presence of defects on a porous surface is viscous fingering [ 42 ]. However, most methods require expensive equipment and/or the use of hazardous chemicals and/or processes.…”
