example 1

[0057]This example demonstrates a flat nickel-zinc battery designed with a wall mounted nickel-oxide hydroxide electrode, and a replaceable zinc cartridge. Zinc electrode current collector (4 cm*6 cm) has been produced by deposition of the Zn—Bi—Cu alloy with mass content 80% Zn, 20% Bi and 5% Cu on brass mesh 40 at 550° C. Electroactive zinc composition was prepared by mixing 8.1 g of zinc dust, 5 mkm size, 0.2 g of lead oxide, 0.2 g of m-aminodiphenylamine, 0.2 g zirconia hollow fibers, 0.2 g of ptfe dispersion, 0.1 g of carboxymethylcellulose with water. The mixture is deposited on brass current collector and wrapped into cellophane separator. The separator is sealed using double scotch.

[0058]Nickel electrode of the same size is prepared by welding nickel foam (pore diameters 0.3 mm-0.7 mm) to the nickel sheet 0.2 mm thickness; mixing 8.1 g of nickel oxide-hydroxide that includes 2% of ZnO and 5% of CoO with 1.5 g nickel powder, 0.2 g ptfe dispersion, 0.1 g carboxymethylcellulose...

example 2

[0060]This example demonstrates assembling a module of three cell zinc-air battery, which is presented in FIG. 8. Three zinc cartridges have been produced similar to Example 1. The base of the module for three cells was assembled from two parts. One of the base sheets made of polypropylene was milled to produce the cell pockets and groves as shown in FIG. 4. Another base sheet was produced with pockets, but without grooves. Both sheets were glued with polyethylene based hot melt glue.

[0061]The air electrode catalyst was prepared by mixing 12 g of acid treated carbon black with 0.1 g-mol of m-phenylenediamine in 100 mL of 0.5M HCl solution. 0.05 g-mol ammonium persulfate and 0.05 g-mol FeCl3 were added to solution at 10° C. and mixed for 24 h. Produced precursor was dried, and heat treated at 800° C. for 1 h. Then the sample was leached in 0.5M H2SO4 at 80° C. for 5 h, washed and heat treated at 800° C. for 1 h again.

[0062]Three current collectors (4 cm*6 cm) were assembled by weldin...

Abstract

Rechargeable and replaceable zinc cartridges have been used as the components of nickel-zinc batteries. The battery life of a zinc battery is extended by periodic replacing of the zinc anodes at about 10% of the battery cost. Flat modules that include several cells interconnected with channels are used as basic elements of a flat battery. A home wall battery is produced by assembling the modules using rotational joints. The performance of the zinc current collectors is improved by deposition of Zn—Cu—Bi alloy. Zinc composition is formulated using additives of polyphenylenediamines and zirconium hollow fibers.
