摘要：

Zinc-air batteries were fabricated using porous zinc anodes with various concentrations of Super P carbon black additive. The introduction of Super P significantly improved the electrochemical performance of the batteries. The specific discharge capacity and, power density of the Zn anode with 2 wt% Super P anode was 776 mA h g(-1) and 20 mW cm(-2), respectively. The batteries also exhibited good durability and stability at an open circuit voltage maintained at approximately 1.4 V. The bridging between Zn powders by Super P may explain the improved electrochemical performance of the batteries. Morphological images and structural properties were also analyzed to support these observations. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. [DOI: 10.1149/2.007306jes] All rights reserved.
