ZINC ELECTRODE INVESTIGATION.

Abstract

Auxiliary electrodes attached to AgO electrodes through a diode in a test cell appear to eliminate excessive pressures occurring through H2 liberation. The use of acicular (needle-like) particle shapes of zinc-oxide are detrimental to cycle life. The zinc-oxide KADOX-15 appears to be most satisfactory for use in cells in this program. The repeat tests on surfactants using 1%, 3%, 5% additions in the negative material indicate that additions larger than 1% are detrimental to cell performance. A new cell case and cover mold is completed, and test units of Celcon moldings are being prepared for heat sealing techniques. (Author)
