An improved nickel/zinc battery for ventricular assist systems

Composite of Indium and Polysorbate 20 as Inhibitor for Zinc Corrosion in Alkaline Solution

“…[1][2][3] The performance of zinc batteries, such as discharge capacity and calendar life, to a great extent depends on the properties of zinc anode. Zinc is active and tends to corrode in alkaline and acidic solution, which causes self-discharge of zinc batteries.…”

Ag-modification improving the electrochemical performance of ZnO anode for Ni/Zn secondary batteries

“…Up to now, a great many attempts have been taken to overcome these problems. One is physical addition of additives to the ZnO such as Ca(OH) 2 , Bi 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , PbO, SnO 2 [3][4][5][6][7][8], and another is the additives to the electrolyte such as bismuth ion and some organic salt [9,10]. To some extent, they could suppress the shape change and dendrite formation.…”

Effects of conductive ceramic on the electrochemical performance of ZnO for Ni/Zn rechargeable battery

“…Many attempts have been made to eliminate or minimize the effects of these phenomena. An effective approach is to incorporate the additives, such as Ca(OH) 2 [1,2], PbO [3], Bi 2 O 3 [4] SnO 2 [5], TiO 2 [6] etc., in the electrode. Through the physical entrapment or by localized precipitation of zinc-containing species, the additives can limit the migration of zincate away from zinc electrode, enhance electronic conductivity and current distribution of the zinc electrode [7][8][9][10][11].…”
