ZINC ANODE BATTERY USING ALKALI ION CONDUCTING SEPARATOR

摘要

A zinc anode storage battery (50) comprising a first electrode (54) containing zinc or a zinc alloy, a second electrode (52) containing an oxidizing material capable of electrochemical reduction by zinc, an alkaline electrolyte, and a substantially non-porous, alkali-ion conducting separator (56) provided between the first electrode (54) and the second electrode (52). The alkali conducting separator (56) may be a solid alkali metal ion super ion conducting material, wherein the alkali metal is Na, K, or Li.
