A negative electrode for use in secondary zinc batteries, comprises a porous high-surface area electrically conducting substrate in plaque form, adapted for the plating out thereon of zinc from the electrolyte during the charge of the battery, said plaque having a low overpotential for zinc deposition and a higher overpotential for hydrogen evolution. The surface of the plaque may consist of nickel, silver, lead, cadmium, and from metals amalgamated with mercury. |
