Mechanically rechargeable electric batteries and anodes for use therein

摘要

The invention provides a zinc battery anode, comprising a substantially planar skeletal frame including conductive metal and having a portion of its surface area formed as open spaces, and further comprising an active zinc anode component encompassing the skeletal frame, the active anode component being formed of a slurry of porous granules comprising zinc, impregnated with suspended in an electrolyte, and compacted under pressure to the skeletal frame.
