Rechargeable galvanic cell

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6514455
An improved rechargeable cell is described which has an anode structure which in its uncharged state comprises a coherent metallic porous body with its pores substantially filled with oxidized zinc and alkaline electrolyte. This anode structure is generated in situ, within the cell, by exposing a predetermined admixture of active zinc metal and an oxide of a metal less anodically active than zinc to an aqueous alkaline electrolyte. 5 figures.
