Abstract

The zinc polyhedral microspheres were synthesized by evaporation of pure zinc powders via a vapor-transport process.The results characterized by XRD and SEM show that the as-synthesized zinc powders are polyhedral microspheres with the diameter of 2~3 μm.The electrochemical investigation showed that the capacity of the as-assembled AA-size primary alkaline Zn-MnO_(2)battery was increased to 3.14 Ah under the constant discharge current of 100 mA by using the as-deposited microspherical zinc powders as the anode active materials and γ-MnO_(2)nanowires as the cathode active materials,indicating their potential application in high-energy batteries.
