The rapid advancement in battery technology is a driving force behind many modern innovations, from portable electronics to electric vehicles. Central to battery performance are the electrolyte materials, and Zinc Chloride (CAS 7646-85-7) plays a notable role in certain battery chemistries.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of industrial chemicals, including high-purity Zinc Chloride. We recognize its significance in the energy storage sector and are committed to providing reliable materials for battery manufacturers.

Zinc Chloride as an Electrolyte Component

Zinc Chloride is primarily utilized in primary (non-rechargeable) battery types, most notably in zinc-carbon batteries, which are widely used in low-drain devices like remote controls, clocks, and flashlights. It also finds application in some alkaline manganese-zinc batteries and specialized zinc chloride batteries.

In these battery systems, Zinc Chloride serves several critical functions:

  • Ion Conductivity: As a highly soluble salt in water, Zinc Chloride dissociates into zinc ions (Zn²⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). This ionic conductivity is fundamental to the electrolyte's role in facilitating the flow of charge between the anode and cathode during the battery's discharge cycle.
  • Electrolyte Stabilization: In some battery designs, Zinc Chloride helps to manage the electrochemistry at the zinc anode, mitigating issues like hydrogen evolution and dendrite formation, which can lead to premature battery failure or reduced capacity. This contributes to a more stable and predictable discharge process.
  • Moisture Control: Its hygroscopic nature means Zinc Chloride can help manage the moisture content within the battery, which is important for maintaining electrolyte integrity and preventing drying out.

The Importance of Purity in Battery Applications

For battery manufacturers, the purity of electrolyte components like Zinc Chloride is paramount. Impurities can:

  • Increase Internal Resistance: Reducing the battery’s power output and efficiency.
  • Cause Side Reactions: Leading to gas generation, capacity fade, or even safety hazards.
  • Degrade Electrode Performance: Affecting the lifespan and reliability of the battery.

Therefore, sourcing Zinc Chloride with guaranteed high purity (typically 98% min) is essential for achieving optimal battery performance and longevity.
