RECHARGEABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL ZINC-OXYGEN CELLS

摘要

The present invention relates to rechargeable electrochemical zinc-oxygen cells comprising A) at least one anode comprising metallic zinc, B) at least one gas diffusion electrode comprising (B1) at least one cathode active material, and (B2) optionally at least one solid medium through which gas can diffuse, and C) an aqueous electrolyte comprising boric acid. The present invention further relates to uses of the inventive rechargeable electrochemical zinc- oxygen cells, to zinc-air batteries comprising the inventive rechargeable electrochemical zinc- oxygen cells, and to the use of an aqueous electrolyte comprising boric acid for production or for operation of rechargeable electrochemical zinc-oxygen cells.
