Abstract

Calcium zincate was prepared by ball milling method and the factors that influence its synthesis were investigated. The composition of the compound was Ca(OH)_2·2Zn(OH)_22H_2O, which was verified by XRD and TG-DTA methods. The results of powder microelectrode and in simulated batteries showed that the material had excellent cyclic performance.
