ELECTRODE MIGRATION AND REACTION PROCESSES OCCURRING WITHIN ALKALINE-ZINC BATTERIES

Abstract

The corrosion rate of zinc in KOH solutions has been measured under a variety of conditions. Amalgamation and the presence of zincate ions lower this rate of corrosion. The effect of increasing KOH concentration on the rate of corrosion is different for non-amalgamated zinc than for amalgamated zinc. The temperature effect is also different for the two types of zinc electrodes.
