Abstract
Zinc Air battery obtain their energy density advantage over the other batteries by utilizing ambient oxygen as the cathode materials, and reusing cathode as recycled form. And specific capacity of zinc powder is as high as 820 mAh/g. However, if the pore size in cathode is small then the flow rate of air decreased, and as a result of that discharge voltage of batteries becomes low. We focused on resistance and porosity of cathode. So we studied the effects of conducting agents to zinc air batteries performance, capacity, power density, average discharge voltage, resistance. And we also measured porosity of cathode by the ASTM. So we have got optimum contents of conducting agent.
