SILVER MIGRATION AND TRANSPORT MECHANISM STUDIES IN SILVER OXIDE-ZINC BATTERIES.

Abstract

A survey has been made of some of the factors that may affect the amount of silver lost by the electrode during the cycling of a silver-alkaline battery. Factors studied were: palladium additions to the silver electrode; presence of zinc oxide and other metallic compounds in the electrolyte; the presence of surfactants in the electrolyte. The nature of the silver deposit on a cellophane separator has also been investigated. Finally, the presence of colloidal matter in solutions of silver oxide in potassium hydroxide solutions has been observed. (Author)
