Patent ·
OSTI ID:6406981
A galvanic cell comprises at least one rechargeable zinc electrode as anode, at least one other electrode as cathode, an electrolyte, and at least one foraminous, electrically conductive auxiliary structure interposed between every anode and cathode. The auxiliary structure is galvanically separated from the electrodes of the cell, and macroscopically visible electrolyte zinc deposition from the cell electrolyte thereon is only observed at potentials which are more negative than on a smooth nickel structure. 2 figures.
