Abstract

Abstract A method of forming calcium zincate powder and an electrode from such powder comprises mixing together solutions of a soluble zinc salt and a soluble calcium salt, adding alkaline material to the mixed solution, and precipitating the calcium zincate. The liquid is decanted and the precipitate dried to provide a powder of calcium zincate with impurities of calcium hydroxide and zinc oxide. The powder contacted with a liquid, applied to a support or compacted under pressure to a particular configuration, and the powder is then dried to provide an electrode structure. Soluble zinc and calcium salts which may be employed in the method of the present invention include zinc acetate, zinc nitrate, zinc bromide, zinc chlorate, zinc perchlorate and zinc chloride, calcium acetate, calcium nitrate, calcium bromide, calcium chlorate, calcium perchlorate, calcium chloride, etc.
