“…A main drawback of nickel zinc battery is the low cycle life due to corrosion of zinc in the KOH electrolyte. Some efforts have recently been made to increase the cycle life by using alloys of zinc and adding additives to KOH to reduce the zinc dissolution [7].…”

A silicon-micromachined rechargeable nickel-zinc alkaline microbattery featuring out-of-plane interdigitated electrodes is reported. The three-dimensional (3-D) battery architecture offers a new approach in developing miniaturized power sources to provide enough power and energy density for autonomous MEMS devices and microelectronic circuits on their small foot print. The battery consists of nickel hydroxide cathode and zinc anode post electrodes which are densely packed in an interdigitated manner. The posts are 50 µm in diameter and 400 µm tall, with foot print area of 5x5 mm 2 . Initial prototypes demonstrated a functional battery for the first few cycles of operation.
