Abstract
As mentioned in subchapter 1.1, the main advantage of ZABs, the superior theoretical energy density, originates from the fact that O2 is not stored within the cell but is taken from the surrounding air. This requires on the one hand an open air electrode concept for ZABs, but makes on the other hand the entire system susceptible to the surrounding air [1]. Passaniti et al. present a comprehensive overview, and state experimental results on the impact of the surrounding air on ZAB button cells [29]. However, the overview is not given for the operation of electrically rechargeable ZABs.
