Learn MoreNickel-based batteries mainly refer to nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), and nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries. Ni-Cd batteries consist of a positive electrode with nickel oxyhydroxide as active material, and a metallic cadmium-based negative electrode with aqueous potassium hydroxide as electrolyte (Shukla et al., 2001).
The coated zinc negative electrode and nickel-positive electrode (sintered nickel, Ni (OH) 2, capacity density 15 mAh cm −2, electrode area 20.9 cm 2, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were placed in an electrolytic cell. The distance between the positive and negative electrodes was 4 mm.
The main disadvantage of nickel–zinc battery is the formation of negative zinc dendrite that causes short circuit and short cycle life. Zinc dendrite forms in nickel–zinc battery mainly because of the continuous growth of zincate in the protruding part of the electrode, which eventually pierces the separator, leading to the end of the battery life.
Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) batteries are chemically similar to the nickel-metal hydride battery described in Section 4.3. Nickel and zinc have low toxicity and are relatively cheap materials. The NiZn also uses an alkaline electrolyte (potassium hydroxide, KOH) and zinc acts as the negative electrode while nickel hydroxide is the positive electrode.
The assembled nickel–zinc battery was tested using a charge–discharge tester (CT2001A 5V2A, Wuhan blue electric). The nickel–zinc battery was activated by 26 mA at 0.1 C current. Thereafter, the battery was charged and discharged by constant current cycle at 0.1 C current. The current density based on zinc electrode was 2.28 mA cm −2.
In alkaline conditions, zinc active substances dissolve in the electrolyte and deposit away from the electrode, resulting in electrode deformation. Inhibiting the formation of zinc dendrite and electrode deformation is the key to improving the cycle life of nickel–zinc battery.
