Application of 2 8-4 Fractional Factorials in Screening of Variable Affecting the Performance of Dry Process Zinc Battery Electrodes

Abstract

Among its research and development activities on zinc-silver oxide batteries for special applications, USAELRDL is investigating the preparation of zinc electrodes by dry processes. These involve the application of dendritic zinc powders under pressure to the grids. The interlocking properties of the dendritic zinc particles make it possible to form the electrodes with moderate pressures such that the porosity and related high surface area of the electrode is not destroyed. It is expected that dry process zinc electrodes will have many advantages over conventional electrodeposited sponge zinc electrodes, including higher discharge efficiency, greater uniformity of performance and better adaptability to mechanized production with resultant economics.
