Cb. Huang et al., POSSIBILITY AND ADVANTAGES OF AN ANODIC-TYPE INHIBITOR FOR ZN MNO2 DRY BATTERIES/, Journal of power sources, 63(1), 1996, pp. 137-139
In developing mercury-substituting inhibitors for zinc/manganese dry b
atteries, the authors have discovered an anodic-type composite organic
inhibitor (designated as PA) which is quite effective in suppressing
the corrosion of zinc during cell storage, yet will not impede the dis
solution of zinc during cell discharge. Moreover, the inhibitor PA has
a unique advantage in that the corrosion of zinc is inhibited irrespe
ctive of the conjugate cathodic process.
