In this orb of rapid technical development, our dependence on electrical and electronic goods is getting escalated day by day. The role of battery is worthy of note. A battery is a combining of one or more electrochemical cells, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell comprises of two electrodes namely anode and cathode with an electrolyte in between. At each electrode, a great deal of electrochemical reaction takes place resulting in potential divergences amidst the electrodes. This potential divergence called electromotive strength drives the electrons. They may be applied once and tossed out or may be recharged and applied for years. Based on this nature, batteries are broadly sorted out into important and secondary batteries. Primary batteries are those, which are not ordinarily rechargeable, as the electrochemical reactions taking place in this battery are irreversible. Once the supply of reactants is exhausted, it would be of no use. Then you have to go for another one. On assemblage itself, it may generate current without more ado. They are likewise dubbed as disposable batteries. They are other than as supposed or expected called as arid cells, since the electrolyte applied in this is a paste like material, rather than a liquid. Primary batteries are employed in widgets that have low current drain. They have more firstborn voltage and provide good capacity. Zinc/carbon batteries are of low cost. They have poor low temperature performance and largely employed in toys, torches, radios etc. Alkaline/manganese oxide batteries offer good capacity, better low temperature performance and the cost will be higher. It is seen in aircraft transmitters or receivers, television, calculators etc. Zn/HgO batteries proffer high energy density, uninterrupted voltage, good shelf life etc. and used in photography, hearing-aids, pace makers, sensors in military etc. Zinc/silver oxide battery provides good energy density, high performance rate and may be used in watches, missiles, space apps etc. For memory devices, electrical appliances Li/SOCl2 batteries are used. They have longer shelf life. Zn/Air batteries offer good shelf life as well as high energy density and they modify with the temperature. They are applied in traffic signals, watches, electrical barriers etc. Secondary batteries are the rechargeable batteries which may be recharged as the electrochemical reactions are reversible, means that it is also possible to convert electrical energy into chemical energy, by charging it. It is necessary to charge the battery before using it, because the elements will be in discharged state at the outset. These batteries may be charged by furnishing electricity and the appliances involved in supplying electricity may be called as rechargers or chargers.The batteries may be recharged and get discharged as numerous times as possible. Lead/Acid batteries are the well known secondary batteries. They have decent high and low temperature performance, low cost, low energy density, low charge retention and are employed in cars, aircrafts, lawnmowers. Ni/Cd, Ni/Fe, Ni/Zn bids good durability, longer shelf life. Ni/Cd may be used in aircrafts, power applications. Ni/Zn batteries are employed in bikes, military vehicles etc. Silver oxide batteries like Zn/AgO, Cd/AgO incorporate good discharge rate, longer shelf life, high energy density,high cost etc. The former is employed in submarines, military instrumentation etc. and the latter is used in satellites, power tools. Li/poly batteries are employed in mobile phones and they are non-volatile, overpriced. Primary batteries are less costly when equated to secondary ones. They have higher energy density when equated to the latter. Primary battery is wispy and provides fine shelf life but, they can not be reused. Instead of proper disposal, if they are thrown out, it will lead to environmental pollution. Secondary batteries shore up high power density and high discharge rate. The charge retention will be poor. Only a few standards are available. Proper storage is necessitated as high temperature and high humidity may devolve the batteries. They will have to be kept in a discharged state because, they may discharge themselves once they are in the assemblage and as the days pass, they become kaput. |
