Nickel-zinc batteries make use of alkaline electrolytes and rely on hydroxide as main charge carrier. Thus, they offer high power-densities and long cycle life. Research on nickel-zinc batteries has paused due to low practical capacities.
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.
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 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,
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.
Although most zinc-air batteries manufactured today are primary cells, there remain efforts underway to commercialize the technology as a secondary battery. Primary zinc-air batteries combine an oxygen reduction cathode in an alkaline electrolyte with an anode that is a paste of zinc powder, binder, and electrolyte.
