Abstract
The efficiency of 3.3'-dinitrobenzophenone as a cathode material in a magne sium/zinc based primary battery is examined. The discharge performance of t he cell is investigated under different parametric variations such as tempe rature, nature of electrolyte, current drain and zeolite modification. A 14 e reduction seems to be responsible for the electrochemical reaction causin g the reduction of 3,3'-dinitrobenzophenone to the diamino derivative, incl uding the reduction of carbonyl group.
