Abstract:
A process for producing a blended zinc powder comprising the steps of: segregating a first powder into at least two groups based on particle size; segregating a second powder into at least two groups based on particle size; and blending at least one group from the first powder with at least one group from the second powder thereby forming said blended zinc powder, wherein at least one group from the first powder and one group from the second powder have a common particle size range and the particles in the first powder's common particle size range have an average roughness index value that is at least 2.0 percent higher than the average roughness index value of the particles in the second powder's common particle size range.
Abstract:
An electrode comprising a mixture of zinc powders, said mixture comprising zinc particles from a first powder and zinc particles from at least a second powder, wherein the range of particle sizes in the first powder and the range of particle sizes in the second powder do not overlap.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verwerten eines elektrochemischen Energiespeichers (10, 11, 24, 34, 42), insbesondere einer Batterie, bei dem der Energiespeicher (10, 11, 24, 34, 42) eingesammelt wird und bei dem der Energiespeicher (10, 11, 24, 34, 42) einer Verarbeitung zum Wiedergewinnen einer oder mehrerer Komponenten des Energiespeichers (10, 11, 24, 34, 42) zugeführt wird. Zum Erreichen einer möglichst vollständigen Entladung des elektrochemischen Energiespeichers vor der Verarbeitung und einer Vereinfachung der Wiedergewinnung einer oder mehrerer Komponenten ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass vor der Verarbeitung ein Isolierelement (12) zum Abdecken eines Abschnittes (17) des Energiespeichers (10, 11, 24, 34, 42) im Bereich eines Überganges von einem ersten Pol (14) zu einem von dem ersten Pol (14) getrennten zweiten Pol (15) des Energiespeichers (10, 11, 24, 34, 42) mindestens teilweise entfernt wird.
Abstract:
An alkaline primary battery of the present invention includes a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The negative electrode further includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a tetramethylammonium compound, a tetraethylammonium compound, and a tetrapropylammonium compound.
Abstract:
An alkaline battery cell with increased discharge capacity is provided. Both the internal volume and the electrode interfacial surface area are increased, without unnecessarily increasing the overall cell volume, by increasing the height but not the diameter of the electrodes, thereby avoiding an unnecessary increase in the total cell volume.
