| Abstract |
Zinc electrode prepared by electroplating zinc on copper plate in ZnSO 4 electrolyte
were studied to determine the most suitable condition of zinc anode preparation for
high performance Zn-MnO 2 battery. Deposition of zinc on substrate material was
confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. Morphological characterization
of zinc anode was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was observed
that concentration of electrolyte and electrical current density influenced the
morphology of zinc electrode. At 1 M ZnSO 4 and current density values of 0.06-0.1
A/cm 2 , it was found that the morphological structure of zinc electrode was orderly
arranged in layer-by-layer structure. This indicated that the current density played an
important role on deposition morphology and even on the crystal structure.
Performance of electrodes was tested by a battery analyzer for 100 cycles. The results
of the tests showed that the electrode with layer-by-layer morphology yielded
a high efficiency of up to 99.97% which was higher and more stable than those of the
electrodes with disordered and scattered morphology. The layer-by-layer morphology
is therefore a key factor for improving the performance of Zn-MnO 2 cell. |
