Table 31-6 compares the experimental average of 17.7% with values calculated across 80% of the zinc-electrode width. Three calculated values are shown. The first and second values are variations calculated on the basis of an equipotential and a fi­ nite, but decreasing, resistance zinc surface. The third value is computed on the 2 basis of an average corrosion current density of 6mA/cm during charge. This cor­ responds closely to the average fractional coulombic inefficiency of 0.20 which was experimentally observed for the nine zinc electrodes. The value of 20.3% is in good agreement with the experimental value of 17.7% particularly in view of the fact that secondary effects in the cell; e.g. gas bubbles, and hydrodynamic effects, are not considered. This analytical technique is a powerful tool in the design of zinc-chlorine battery stacks, based upon the comb-type bipolar concept. It facilitates the determination of optimum cell dimensions. As electrode technology is improved, yielding more 2 active electrodes and higher capacity densities (mAh/cm ), this technique has provided a method whereby these and other future parameter changes may be evalu­ ated. Properly used, this design tool will help to provide the cost-effective, efficient, and reliable zinc-chlorine battery stacks of the future.
