A nickel–zinc battery (Ni–Zn battery or NiZn battery) is a type of rechargeable battery similar to nickel–cadmium batteries, but with a higher voltage of 1.6 V. Larger nickel – zinc battery systems have been known for over 100 years.
There are three kinds of nickel-based batteries namely the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery and the nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery. The NiCd technology uses cadmium hydroxide, the NiMH uses a metal alloy and the NiZn uses zinc hydroxide.
Chargers for nickel–zinc batteries must be capable of charging a battery with a fully charged voltage of 1.85 V per cell, higher than the 1.4 V of NiMH. NiZn technology is well suited for fast recharge cycling, as optimum charge rates of C or C/2 are preferred.
Nickel–zinc batteries perform well in high-drain applications, and may have the potential to replace lead–acid batteries because of their higher energy-to-mass ratio and higher power-to-mass ratio – as little as 25% of the mass for the same power.
In the Ni–Zn battery, the positive electrode is made of nickel oxide and the negative electrode is zinc metal. This type of battery exhibits a higher energy density (by about 25%) than Ni–Cd batteries. Ni–Zn batteries have a higher energy-to-mass ratio and power-to-mass ratio than conventional lead batteries.
ZNB has been successfully integrated with energy storage systems. The cost account of ZNB is calculated to compare with lead-acid battery. This work developed intrinsically safe zinc–nickel batteries (ZNB) with different capacities of 20 Ah and 75 Ah, respectively, for future fundamental studies and applications.
