✦ Synopsis

This paper reports the first results obtained from a dichloroisocyanuric acid-based zinc cell system in an aqueous medium of NH&l-ZnQ at. different discharge rates ranging from 10 to 200 mA. The constant-current discharge method has been employed to evaluate cell parameters such as capacity, energy density and coulombic practical efficiency. The discharge data are in good agreement with those predicted from a standard model for primary cells. The novelty of the system lies in the fact that the organic material of the cathode possesses nontoxic properties and that the cell exhibits a high voltage of 2.0 V and a maximum current density of 17 mA cm-' during discharge.
