2. Primary battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_battery

   A primary battery or primary cell is a battery (a galvanic cell) that is designed to be used once and discarded, and it is not rechargeable unlike a secondary cell (rechargeable battery). In general, the electrochemical reaction occurring in the cell is not reversible, rendering the cell unrechargeable.

3. Electric battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

   A battery explosion is generally caused by misuse or malfunction, such as attempting to recharge a primary (non-rechargeable) battery, or a short circuit. When a battery is recharged at an excessive rate, an explosive gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen may be produced faster than it can escape from within the battery (e.g. through a built-in ...

4. Silver oxide battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_oxide_battery

   A silver oxide battery uses silver(I) oxide as the positive electrode , zinc as the negative electrode , plus an alkaline electrolyte, usually sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). The silver is reduced at the cathode from Ag(I) to Ag, and the zinc is oxidized from Zn to Zn(II). The half-cell reaction at the positive plate:

5. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

   Primary cells are made in a range of standard sizes to power small household appliances such as flashlights and portable radios. [citation needed] As chemical reactions proceed in a primary cell, the battery uses up the chemicals that generate the power; when they are gone, the battery stops producing electricity. [citation needed]

6. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

   A galvanic cell or voltaic cell, named after the scientists Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta, respectively, is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current is generated from spontaneous oxidation–reduction reactions. An example of a galvanic cell consists of two different metals, each immersed in separate beakers containing their ...

7. List of battery types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_types

   This list is a summary of notable electric battery types composed of one or more electrochemical cells. Three lists are provided in the table. Three lists are provided in the table. The primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) cell lists are lists of battery chemistry.

8. Bunsen cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunsen_cell

   The Bunsen cell generates about 1.9 volts which arises from the following reaction: [1]. Zn + H 2 SO 4 + 2 HNO 3 ⇌ ZnSO 4 + 2 H 2 O + 2 NO 2 (g). According to the reaction above, when 1 mole (or part) each of zinc and sulfuric acid react with 2 moles (or parts) of nitric acid, the resultant products formed are, 1 mole (or part) of zinc sulfate and 2 moles (or parts) each of water and ...

9. Zinc–air battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc–air_battery

   The resulting primary zinc–air battery showed peak power density of ~265 mW/cm 3, current density of ~200 mA/cm 3 at 1 V and energy density >700 Wh/kg. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Rechargeable Zn–air batteries in a tri-electrode configuration exhibited an unprecedented small charge–discharge voltage polarization of ~0.70 V at 20 mA/cm 3 , high ...
