The rational design of integral battery configurations is highly essential for the commercialization of zinc–air batteries. First, the zinc–air battery is a semi-open system; thus, it is prone to leakage and volatilization of the electrolyte, leading to failure of the battery and corrosion of electric devices.
Fig. 2. Assembly flow chart of zinc-air battery. In order to verify the discharge performance of the zinc-air battery produced by the above assembly method, a galvanostatic discharge test was carried out using a battery testing system (CT2001A, LanHe Instrument Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) at 10 mA cm −2.
Keywords: Assembly, air cathodes; Configuration; Sealing effect; Zinc-air battery. Zinc-air batteries are considered as the promising alternative to conventional power sources and have received revived research efforts recently due to their high energy density, good safety, environmental friendliness, and potential for low material costs.
The structural design to achieve a sealing effect on the zinc–air battery Unlike the fully enclosed structure of other commercial batteries, the semi-open system of the zinc–air battery consists of air electrodes on one side that are exposed to air and air electrodes on the other side that are in contact with the electrolyte.
Firstly, the working voltage of the zinc–air battery (about 1.2 V) is approximately 0.8 V lower than that of the lead-acid battery (about 2 V), which means that more single batteries need to be connected in series to reach the specific power level.
The volume and mass energy density of the zinc–air battery stacks are 112.9% and 132.9%, respectively, higher than those of lead-acid batteries, indicating that the zinc–air battery stacks have satisfied the basic requirements of commercialization.

As shown in Fig. 5.c, the peak power of battery with 0.5 g/L ZnO is 18.94 mW/cm 2, higher than that of the one with 1.0 g/L. Simultaneously, the battery with 1.0 g/L ZnO has a peak power that is only 93.86 % of that of the battery without ZnO. This could be attributed to the increased internal resistance of the former, which is caused by an excess of insoluble zinc oxide.
