The electrochemical design of special nanocompositions can be achieved both by creating the multilayer structures and by locally modifying the surfaces. These common approaches are used for both the HTSC and or their precursors. 

In 2001-2002, Electrochemical Design Associates examined the removal of lead from soil at a Pearl Harbor naval shipyard and intermediate maintenance facility in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The average zinc electrode active material utilization was found to be about 60% of the theoretical capacity. The reason for this relatively low electrochemical utilization has not been reported in the literature but may be related to the solubility and complex chemistry of zinc in alkaline solution. The utilization obtained will be a function of the electrode design and composition and will be affected by the use of any additives either to the electrode or the electrolyte. The utilization of the zinc electrode may also vary for a specific cell design and must be taken into account in the electrochemical design and active material balance of the cell. 

Electrochemical Design. The electrochemical design of the cell consists primarily of balancing the active materials present in the electrodes. This previously has been discussed for each of the two electrodes separately, the nickel positive electrode and the zinc negative electrode. When combined in the cell, the two active materials must be present in some ratio with respect to each other. As with most other alkaline nickel batteries, the nickel-zinc system is typically positive (nickel electrode) limited. This means that the cell contains more zinc active material, on an Ampere-hour basis, than nickel active material. This must take into account the active materials present in the cell in addition to the active material utilization of each.
