Nickel-zinc batteries offer a reliable energy storage solution for applications that require maintenance-free electrical rechargeability, with good specific energy and cycle life, and low environment impact. The battery design features a nickel oxyhydroxide cathode with an aqueous alkaline electrolyte and a zinc anode.
As the component of the smart response devices, the selection and design of the active electrode will also induce the unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of a working zinc battery due to the sacrifice the ionic conductivity and the working voltage window in the electrochemical process.
Nickel–zinc has been invented in 1899 and produced commercially from 1920. The positive electrode also uses the same material, and for the anode electrode, a pasting of zinc oxide is used. Due to the high cell voltage, the energy density is about double of the nickel–cadmium and nickel–iron-based batteries. At the positive electrode,
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.
Zinc is one of the most commonly used anode materials for primary batteries because of its low half-cell potential, high electrochemical reversibility, compatibility with acidic and alkaline aqueous electrolytes, low equivalent weight, high specific and bulk energy density, and high ultimate current.
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.
