Research on alkaline zinc secondary electrodes with emphasis on model

Experiments performed emphasized determination of the potential distribution over the surface of a flat rectangular porous zinc electrode operated under conditions of severly limited convective flow, the determination of potential distribution, and concentration variations over the surface of similar electrodes when operated under 'normal' flow conditions and the evaluation of OH depletion as a failure mode in zinc electrodes operated under conditions of severly limited convective flow. Results of the experiments and interpretations of them in terms of the appropriate models are included.
