Zinc-silver batteries use metal zinc as negative electrode, silver oxide (AgO, Ag 2 O or a mixture of them) as positive electrode, 22 and KOH or NaOH aqueous solution as electrolyte. The divalent oxide is relatively stable at ambient temperatures but is inclined to degrade to the monovalent state with increasing temperature and time.
The burgeoning demand for renewable energy sources is catalyzing advancements in energy storage and conversion technologies. In contrast to conventional inorganic materials, organic electrode materials (OEMs) are poised as the optimal cathodes for the next-generation zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs).
Zinc-silver batteries are composed of zinc metal/oxides as a negative electrode, silver/silver oxides (AgO or Ag 2 O) as a positive electrode, and potassium hydroxide (KOH) aqueous solution as an electrolyte. The electrochemical expression for a zinc-silver cell can be written as follows: (-)Zn|KOH|AgxO (+)
A zinc–silver oxide battery can be considered as a porous, multi–phase and multi–component medium whose energy content varies during charge and discharge. The negative electrode usually is made of zinc powder pasted on a copper or silver substrate (although other materials can be used).
As it can be seen, at the time t = 300, the molar concentration of zinc electrode reaches a very small amount near the separator, while the silver electrode still has enough active material. This shows that in this experiment, the zinc electrode is the limiter and can be optimized for obtaining more energy. Figure 4.
Zinc is one of the most commonly used anode materials for primary batteries because of its low half-cell potential, high electrochemical reversibility, compatibility with acidic and alkaline aqueous electrolytes, low equivalent weight, high specific and bulk energy density, and high ultimate current.
