New Mechanically Rechargeable Zinc/Air Battery Design.
Abstract
Performance characteristics of the Yardney 20 AH Zinc/Air mechanically rechargeable systems are discussed in the light of the high power output requirements of the Technical Guidelines. Several design changes and improvements were incorporated into the bicell cathode-frame sealing interface. The performance characteristics of Zinc/Air cell stacks with and without forced air blowers were investigated. Air electrodes with low loadings of Pt black were fabricated and tested for polarization behavior at high rates. It is shown that mix formulations containing commercially available zinc powder can meet the high rate output required.
