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.
There are three kinds of nickel-based batteries namely the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery and the nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery. The NiCd technology uses cadmium hydroxide, the NiMH uses a metal alloy and the NiZn uses zinc hydroxide.
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 (NiZn) batteries are chemically similar to the nickel-metal hydride battery described in Section 4.3. Nickel and zinc have low toxicity and are relatively cheap materials. The NiZn also uses an alkaline electrolyte (potassium hydroxide, KOH) and zinc acts as the negative electrode while nickel hydroxide is the positive electrode.
The cathode of the Nickel-based batteries is nickel hydroxide, and the electrolyte is an alkaline aqueous solution. In terms of anode materials, it can be divided into different types. General nickel-based batteries include nickel-cadmium, nickel-iron, nickel-zinc, nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), and batteries .
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.
