Secondary Zinc-Oxygen Batteries.
Abstract
The discussed secondary zinc-oxygen battery is based on the concept of using single sealed cylindrical cells in which the active electrodes and stored oxygen are contained. The cylindrical cell container serves as the pressure vessel for the stored oxygen. The zinc electrode is sandwiched between two layers of inorganic separator material containing electrolyte bound in the pores. Investigations have centered on the use of a bifunctional oxygen electrode that is used in both the charge and discharge mode. Individual test electrodes have been cycled up to 200 times. A design analysis of a 25AH cell based on the experimental results show that single cells will be capable of 60WH/lb and 2.7WH/cu in at 750 psi gas storage. (Author)
