Three zinc electrodes with carbon additive were prepared through ultrasound treatment. Two of them were mixed with conductive ceramic additives from the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) system with nominal chemical composition Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2CuOx (B(Pb)SCCO 2201) and Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2CaCu2Ox (B(Pb)SCCO 2212). The phase composition and morphology of the as-prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The EDX specters suggest that the composition of the active mass does not change during the ultrasound treatment. The micrographs show that the active mass with carbon and 2201 additive has superior particle distribution compared to the other two samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
