I ran into the following sentence in a context in which making 集電体
for battery electrodes is discussed.

特に、ハナ付き処理を施した電解箔は最も好ましい。

I assume that this does not mean pasting flowers on them, but I cannot
pin down any other meaning.

TIA,

Hi Jon,

A 集電体is a current collector (usually a metal strip coated with an
active material on at least one side).

I suspect ハナつき　is a typographical error for ハンダ付き, i.e., An
electrolytic foil attached by solder(ing) is most preferable.

Perhaps this is referring to creating a flower-like structure i.e.

Interesting.  It is less likely that
"handa" was mistyped as "hana" than that
/handa/ was misheard as /hana/ (sez me),
so maybe we can conclude that this Japanese
text was produced by voice recognition software.
What is the state of VR software in Japan today?
Is it common enough to make this "That's a
VR mistake" conclusion  plausible?

Well, if the writer was using kana input I'd agree, as that typo would
require two mistakes, but with romaji input it just requires dropping
one letter, which I think is pretty easy to do (I actually initially
typed "typo" as "tpo", amusingly).
