INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTRODE MIGRATION AND REACTION PROCESS OCCURRING IN ALKALINE-ZINC BATTERIES.

Abstract

The work under this contract will concentrate on the activity of the zinc electrode in alkaline solutions. To get adequate background for this a review of all the literature on this subject is being made and plans are also being made to determine the solubility of various types of zinc oxide in KOH solutions. Some silver-zinc cells have been assembled and cycled to determine the effect of electrolyte additives on the cycle life, but not enough results have yet been obtained to warrant drawing any conclusions.
