Nippon Shokubai Develops Environmentally Friendly Rechargeable Carbon-zinc Hybrid Battery
By combining the separator and zinc negative electrode with activated carbon as the positive electrode, Nippon Shokubai has developed the new rechargeable carbon-zinc hybrid battery.
- By combining the separator and zinc negative electrode with activated carbon as the positive electrode, Nippon Shokubai has developed the new rechargeable carbon-zinc hybrid battery.
- This hybrid battery is assembled from a positive electrode of an electric double-layer capacitor and a zinc electrode of electrochemical reaction (Figure 3).
- Moreover, the rechargeable carbon-zinc hybrid battery can be charged and discharged even at low temperatures below -20 C, while keeping the high output of the capacitor.
- The "rechargeable carbon-zinc hybrid battery" and "zinc battery separator" (Fig.
