Electrode for a zinc-chloride battery and batteries containing the same

摘要

Hollow rod-shaped porous zinc electrodes are employed in a rechargeable zinc-chloride battery to decrease the possibility of shorting within the battery, to decrease hydrogen evolution and to increase the efficiency of the battery. Dechlorinated electrolyte is flowed through the Zn electrode and Zn deposit thereon so as to avoid black zinc at low current density and increase the efficiency of the battery.
