A nickel–zinc battery (Ni–Zn battery or NiZn battery) is a type of rechargeable battery similar to nickel–cadmium batteries, but with a higher voltage of 1.6 V. Larger nickel – zinc battery systems have been known for over 100 years.
The modern advancements in design and the ability to mass produce the battery has greatly improved the economics and commercial viability of the battery chemistry. Both nickel and zinc have low toxicity and are economically viable materials to source both domestically in the USA and abroad.
Chargers for nickel–zinc batteries must be capable of charging a battery with a fully charged voltage of 1.85 V per cell, higher than the 1.4 V of NiMH. NiZn technology is well suited for fast recharge cycling, as optimum charge rates of C or C/2 are preferred.
Nickel–zinc has been invented in 1899 and produced commercially from 1920. The positive electrode also uses the same material, and for the anode electrode, a pasting of zinc oxide is used. Due to the high cell voltage, the energy density is about double of the nickel–cadmium and nickel–iron-based batteries. At the positive electrode,
Nickel–zinc batteries perform well in high-drain applications, and may have the potential to replace lead–acid batteries because of their higher energy-to-mass ratio and higher power-to-mass ratio – as little as 25% of the mass for the same power.
For example, zinc-air batteries are designed to sequester zinc as zinc oxide precipitated in the anode. In this case, the controlled precipitation of ZnO is desirable. On the other hand, zinc-ion batteries are designed to transport zinc ions across the cell to be intercalated into the cathode material.
