Abstract
Fabre de Lagrange developed a zinc-air battery where the sulfuric acid dropped slowly through a column in which the carbon electrode was placed and down on to the zinc electrode. This was made to increase the current by amovement of the electrolyte solution, and thus decreasing the concentration polarization.
