Iron-air cell

Iron—Air Cells. The iron—air system is a potentially low cost, high energy system being considered mainly for mobile appHcations. The iron electrode, similar to that employed in the nickel—iron cell, exhibits long life and therefore this system could be more cost effective than the ziac-air cell. Reactions iaclude ... [Pg.565]

Iron-air cells have been developed by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. and by the Swedish National Development Co., which have given an energy density of 80 Wh/kg at C/5 and a cycle life of 200 cycles to 60% depth of discharge. The latter company have produced 15-30 kWh batteries for EV testing. One limitation of the iron-air system for this application is the low power density achieved - a maximum value of 30-40 W/kg is reported. Similar cells are also being developed by Westinghouse (USA) and Siemens (Germany). [Pg.293]

The iron/air cell is especially attractive as it can utilize resources that are virtually inexhaustible. Only electrically rechargeable batteries have been developed owing to the good reversibility of the iron electrode and cycling behaviour. [Pg.217]

Other battery types which have been studied in some detail but are not in common use include aluminum air cells, magnesium air cells, and iron air cells. [Pg.1728]

Another metal-air power source is the iron-air cell. The reactions occurring in these cells are analogous to those occurring in zinc-air cells, the only difference being that the iron oxides Fe203 and/or Fe304 are the final product of anodic iron oxidation. This means that this cell is based on the well-known iron corrosion... [Pg.167]

Probably the best-known battery system using an iron anode is the nickd/iron battery. It should be written (—) Fe/KOH/NiO(OH) (-t), and has its merits as a heavy duty accumulator [28]. By far less famous and much more recent are the applications of iron anodes in (rechargeable) iron/air cells [(—) Fe/K0H/02 (-t)] [29, 30] and in iron/silver oxide batteries [(—) Fe/KOH(- -LiOH)/AgO (-t)] [31, 32]. [Pg.222]
