    Abstract: Active material for a negative electrode of a rechargeable zinc alkaline electrochemical cell is made with zinc metal particles coated with tin and/or lead. The zinc particles may be coated by adding lead and tin salts to a slurry containing zinc particles, a thickening agent and water. The remaining zinc electrode constituents such as zinc oxide (ZnO), bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), a dispersing agent, and a binding agent such as Teflon are then added. The resulting slurry/paste has a stable viscosity and is easy to work with during manufacture of the zinc electrode. Further, the zinc electrode is much less prone to gassing when cobalt is present in the electrolyte. Cells manufactured from electrodes produced in accordance with this invention exhibit much less hydrogen gassing, by as much as 60-80%, than conventional cells. The cycle life and shelf life of the cells is also enhanced, as the zinc conductive matrix remains intact and shelf discharge is reduced.

    Abstract: A rechargeable pencil battery has a hollow cylindrical positive electrode including nickel hydroxide; a gelled negative electrode comprising at least one of zinc and a zinc compound; a separator interposed between the hollow cylindrical positive electrode and the gelled negative electrode; and a negative electrode current collector inserted into the gelled negative electrode. Rechargeable batteries of the invention are capable of between about 50 and 1000 cycles from a fully charge state to a fully discharged state at a discharge rates of about 0.5C or greater, in some embodiments about 1C or greater. Batteries of the invention have a ratio of length to diameter of between about 1.5:1 and about 20:1, and therefore can be longer than typical commercially available batteries but also include batteries of commercial sizes e.g. AAAA, AAA, AA, C, D, sub-C and the like.
