Zinc Air Fuel Cell uses oxygen in the air as the active cathode component. When the oxygen enters into the battery and starts chemical reaction, oxygen is consumed then enters into the electrolytes and attach to the cathode carbon electrode. The carbon electrode can make from non-organic Co complex or other forms of agent to absorb oxygen molecules in starting electrochemical reactions. With sufficient metal anode, the carbon cathode is only use as the oxygen reaction electrode with no wear and tear. The design of the carbon electrode named “air-breathing electrode” is a special design battery electrode, which is also the type of electrode adopted by fuel cells. Metal fuel cell uses Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium and Iron external fuel (active component) as electricity storage chemical materials. In the course of the reaction, the fuel cell cathode acted as a reactor without must decomposition. Metal fuel cell can be treated as low temperature acid fuel cell as the carbon air cathode in the structure is capable of continuously “breathing” oxygen from the air.
Using Zinc as fuel, the zinc anode can replace or replenish mechanically in an open, systematic operation as one type of fuel cell deployment. Zinc fuel is replenish into the battery cathode (which uses continuous air) in forms such as high surface area electrode, zinc particles, zinc paste…etc; this is zinc air fuel cell. |
