Abstract

Electrochemical properties of a zinc/polyvinyl alcohol-potassium hydroxide/carbon cell have been investi-gated. In this cell, PVA-KOH gel has been used as an electrolyte with PVA/KOH wt.% ratio of 60:40, whilezinc and carbon rods served as electrodes. The cylindrical glass vessel of length 3.0 cm and of diameter 2.0 cmhas been used as a cell compartment. The current–voltage characteristics and open circuit voltage–time, chargevoltage/current–time and discharge voltage/current–time studies have been done. The open circuit voltage hasbeenobservedfor160h. Ithasbeenfoundthatthecellshowsstabilityandisrechargeable,too.PACSnumbers:65.40.gk,82.47.Jk,84.60.
