We investigate the effect of Zn addition on an Al–air battery at the anode. The tested Al–air battery consists of a 6 mol% potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte, a fiberglass separator, and a Pt/C + IrO₂ cathode. The Zn-added Al(Al₆₀Zn₄₀)–air battery shows a higher power density of 48 mW/cm², while a pure Al–air battery exhibits a power density of 38 mW/cm². Approximately, 30 charge/discharge cycles of the Al–air battery were performed, while ~ 71 cycles of the Al₆₀Zn₄₀–air battery were performed. Adding Zn to the Al–air battery improves its electrochemical performance and the number of charge/discharge cycles can be significantly increased.

锌添加对铝空气电池电化学性能的影响

我们研究了锌添加对阳极铝空气电池的影响。经过测试的铝空气电池由6摩尔％的氢氧化钾（KOH）电解质，玻璃纤维隔板和Pt / C + IrO ₂阴极组成。添加锌的Al（Al ₆₀ Zn ₄₀）-空气电池的功率密度更高，为48 mW / cm ²，而纯Al-空气电池的功率密度为38 mW / cm ²。铝空气电池大约执行了30次充电/放电循环，而铝₆₀锌₄₀空气电池执行了约71个循环。向铝制空气电池中添加Zn可以改善其电化学性能，并且可以大大增加充电/放电循环的次数。
