CYCLED AIR ELECTRODE BASED ON CARBON MATERIALS

The principles of operation of cycled air electrodes with additives pr eventing anodic oxidation of carbon materials are considered. Methods for selection of these additives based on their physical and electroch emical properties are suggested. The mechanism of the charging and dis charge of the metal-air cell is described. With an example of a labora tory model of a zinc-air cell the action of the hydroxide of nickel in the highest oxidation state is tested.
