RECHARGEABLE METAL-AIR CELL
Abstract
Preliminary design calculations indicate potential energy densities of the following ranges for operating cells: Lead-air, 30-33 watthours/pound; Cadmium-air, 35-45 watthours/pound; Zinc-air, 30-60 watthours/pound. Principal technical problems associated with the battery systems under study are: Obtaining maximum anode utilization in terms of ampere-hours per square foot of electrode geometric surface area during successive charge-discharge cycling; Control of corrosion of the cathode (air electrode), particularly during the charge portion of the charge-discharge cycle; Control of gases generated during the charge and discharge portions of the charge-discharge cycle.
