Divalent silver oxide-zinc cell having a unipotential discharge level

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7200125
An alkaline silver oxide--zinc cell is described which has a negative electrode, an alkaline electrolyte, a positive electrode comprising divalent silver oxide housed in a positive terminal container, and a separator disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode. A discontinuous oxidizable metal, such as a zinc screen, is interposed between the positive electrode and the inner wall of the positive terminal and/or between the positive electrode and the separator so as to achieve a unipotential discharge level on low-drain conditions. 7 figures.
