Performance and failure mechanisms of alkaline zinc anodes with addition of calcium zincate (Ca[Zn(OH) 3 ] 2 ·2H 2 O) under industrially relevant conditions

Various zinc anodes with increasing calcium zincate (0%, 30%, 70%, 100%) were cycled at 50% theoretical Zn utilization to investigate cycle life and estimated cost. Failure mechanisms of majority 70% Zn/30% CaZn anodes are compared with pure CaZn.
