Abstract
The zinc air battery has advantages of high specific energies and low cost, therefore attracts much interests. However, its application is limited only in prismatic and button type.This paper reported a novel design of cylindrical zinc air batteries and the performances of the batteries tested at various conditions. The results showed that when discharged at the current of 40 mA at 20 °C, the capacity of AA size and AAA size batteries reached 4000mAh and 1400mAh respectively, corresponding to the energy densities 280 Wh/kg and 200 Wh/kg. The effects of the discharge current, temperature and humidity on the performances of the batteries are also discussed.
