An electrically rechargeable zinc-air cell was developed and demonstrated using a bi-electrode on the cathode side and a 3D zinc electrode. About 200 cycles corresponding to 5000h of operation was achieved with this configuration. An innovating hybrid bi-electrode was evaluated which significantly increase the energy efficiency of our system to about 70% with an energy density close to 110 wh/kg and also improves the power response of the zinc air battery for punctual power demand application.
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.
