GALVANIC PROCESSES AND ANODES FOR CARRYING THE PROCESSES INTO EFFECT

摘要

GALVANIC PROCESS AND AN ANODE FOR CARRYING THE PROCESS INTO EFFECT. A galvanic primary cell in which complexing agents are supplied to the anode and/or the cathode to eliminate operationinhibiting or passivating phase interfaces, such as a passivating coating on the anode or a heterogeneous supply of active material inhibiting the cathode reaction. More particularly, in an iron/air cell, complexing agents for iron are supplied to eliminate coatings on the Fe-anode, while complexing agents for oxygen are supplied to reversibly dissolve 02 at the cathode.
