Abstract
The anodic oxidation of silver in zinc chloride solutions demonstrated the feasibility of operating rechargeable silver/silver chloride battery electrodes at charging rates up to 150C without any gas evolution. Specific capacities of about 2 mA‐hr/cm2 were obtained at current densities between 60 and 300 mA/cm2. The greatest charge acceptance was obtained with thin silver electrodes and with zinc chloride solutions containing sodium perchlorate. The charging process was generally terminated by the boiling of the electrolyte in the diffusion layer at the electrode.Keywords
