APPLIED RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF SEALED SILVER-ZINC BATTERIES.

Abstract

The use of LiOH either alone or as an additive to regular NaOH and KOH electrolyte systems did not affect cycle life. For the purposes of this program relating to a long cyclic Ag-Zn secondary battery, there appeared to be no benefit from use of LiOH electrolyte. Appreciable gains in cycle life were made by cells using 45% and 50% NaOH electrolyte. Polypor films did not by themselves prove suitable for use in the Ag-Zn secondary cell as cycled in this program. Additional development work on these membranes in the area of pore size reduction might prove beneficial; these separators are inert in the alkali environment, and resist chemical deterioration.
