air-metal electrochemical power source

Physico-chemical fundamentals of development of air-metal batteries with a polyaniline catalysts

The possibility for using of polyaniline (PAN) is investigated as the catalyst for oxygen reduction in Air – Metal batteries with Zn, Al and Mg anodes. The achieved characteristics of systems "O2(PAN)-Zn" and "O2(PAN)-Mg" allow one to consider their as the perspective systems for substitution of existing MnO2-Zn and air – metal batteries in some fields of practical application.
