Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a zinc air cell with improved voltage and reduced polarization. The combination of an anode corrosion inhibitor with a surfactant system yields enhanced cell voltage and capacity for the cell that are above the individual contributions of the corrosion inhibitor and the surfactant system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to alkaline electrochemical cells, such as metal-air cells, which comprise a gelled anode which may or may not include mercury, comprising an ionically conductive clay additive. The ionically conductive clay additive is modified to include halogen atoms to increase the negative charge density of the additive and improve its performance in the electrochemical cell.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to alkaline electrochemical cells, such as metal-air cells, which comprise a gelled anode including an improved gelling agent. The gelling agent is a self-wetting, easy to disperse gelling agent that allows for even wet-up of the gelling agent during water intake. The even wet up allows the gelling agent to reach its full matrix potential and anode active material coating ability with provides for better diffusion characteristics. Additionally, the gelling agent has a high electrolyte tolerance and can withstand the solution pressure commonly associated with high pH systems.

Abstract: A metal-air electrochemical cell that includes spun mercury-amalgamated zinc powder particles is disclosed. The mercury-amalgamated zinc powder particles have advantageous physical properties that improve the performance characteristics of the cell including increasing the rate capability while decreasing the failure rate of the cell from buildup of hydrogen gas in the cell.

Abstract: A party tray includes a support tray and, on the support tray, a sealed package made up of transparent container body and a polymeric sealing sheet sealed to the rim of the container body. The sealed package contains foodstuffs, in particular respiring foodstuffs such as fresh fruits and vegetables, which rest on the sealing sheet; the sealing sheet is in turn supported by the support tray. The sealed package may include an atmosphere control member. When the party tray is on display, its contents are viewed through the single thickness of the container body.
