Zinc-air cell with KOH-treated agar layer between electrode and electrolyte containing hydroponics gel

The capacity of zinc-air cell employing gelled KOH electrolyte has been enhanced markedly as thin KOH-treated gelatinized agar layer was applied between the electrode-gelled electrolyte interfaces. Depending on discharge load, the cell capacity showed an improvement ratio from 1.4 to 3.1. The agar l...
