  • Metallic zinc-based current collector
    Patent number: 8940430
    Abstract: A nickel zinc battery cell includes a metallic zinc-based current collection substrate as a part of the negative electrode. The metallic zinc-based current collector may be made of or be coated with a zinc metal or zinc alloy material and may be a foil, perforated, or expanded material. Battery cells incorporating the zinc-based current collector exhibit good cycle lifetime and initial charge performance.
    Type: Grant

  • Nickel zinc battery design
    Publication number: 20060240317
    Abstract: Nickel zinc cylindrical battery cell designs are described. The designs provided limit dendrite formation and prevent build up of hydrogen gas in the cell. The present invention also provides low-impedance cells required by rapid discharge applications. The cylindrical battery cells may have polarity opposite of that of conventional power cells, with a negative cap and positive can. The cylindrical cells may include a gel electrolyte reservoir.
