Abstract
By means of immersion test, a.c. impedance measurements and a bidirect ional polarization study, a new type of composite addition agent has b een developed for completely substituting mercury (compound) in zinc/m anganese dry cells. Type R6P (AA-size, high power) mercury-free dry ce lls assembled with pasted electrolyte paper that contains this additio n agent instead of mercuric chloride have showed satisfactory performa nce. For example, 95% of the original discharge capacity is still reta ined after storage for one year.
