  • Patent number: 7264898
    Abstract: A rectangular-shaped primary zinc-air battery is provided. Hence, many components of the primary zinc-air battery can be designed in shapes of sheets for easy production. In addition, the primary zinc-air battery comprises two sheets of air cathodes on opposite sides of the zinc-air battery to double the power output.

  • Patent number: 6844096
    Abstract: A metal-gas cell battery, such as a zinc-air cell battery, has one or more metal-gas cells. Each metal-gas cell has a metal anode sandwiched between a pair of gas cathodes. Each gas cathode is disposed within a rigid retaining structure. An expandable soft pocket for holding an electrolyte connects the two retaining structures. The anode is disposed within the soft pocket without being enclosing by a separator bag. The cell is mechanically refueled by expanding the soft pocket to allow replacing easily a spent anode with a fresh anode.

  • Publication number: 20040175603
    Abstract: A metal-gas battery, such as a zinc-air battery, has one or more metal-gas cells. Each metal-gas cell has a metal anode sandwiched between a pair of gas cathodes. Each gas cathode is disposed within a rigid retaining structure. The retaining structures of each gas cathode are attached to one another by an expandable soft pocket capable of holding an electrolyte solution. The metal anode is disposed within the soft pocket without an enclosure separator bag. The metal-gas cell is mechanically refueled by expanding the soft pocket to allow easy removal from the cell of a spent anode and easy insertion into the cell of a fresh anode. In order to avoid the unpredicted electrolyte leakage, the gas diffusion electrodes are installed on the soft pocket to instead of a rigid cell housing to eliminate the stress created by different coefficients of thermal expansion of materials.
