Abstract.

The application of porous conductive glassy carbon as the cathode and carrier of cathodic active mass in the Leclanché cell improved all of its operational parameters. All the tests required by international standards showed that this improvement made the modified cell competitive even for the better-classified batteries based on the zinc chloride electrolyte. The major benefits of this modification were improved voltage stability during discharge and a higher electrical capacity of the cathode.
