Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticle by Solid State Reaction and its Influence on Zinc Electrode

Abstract:

Nanosized ZnO was prepared successfully by solid phase coordination chemistry reaction and characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The results of CV testing indicated that the peak shapes in CV diagrams were differed for the three electrodes when the scan rate was 1 mV s^-1. The mixture electrode (sample D) that nanosized ZnO additives were 50% exhibited remarkable cyclic reversibility. The results indicated that the optimum ratio of ZnO additives were 50% by means of constant current charge-discharge. The rechargeability of the Zn electrode could be improved. But the nanosized ZnO were more effective in modifying Zn electrode than the common ZnO particles. Its discharge capacity at 25th and 30th charge-discharge cycle achieves 220 mAh g^-1 and 198 mAh g^-1, respectively.
