DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF THE PROTOTYPE FOR METAL-AIR BATTERY TESTING

Abstract

Metal air batteries have significantly grown over the years due to their superior energy density followed by their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. To develop this technology further, it is necessary to investigate a variety of materials for effective electrochemical reactions on the anode and as catalysts on the cathode sides. The optimization of these two electrode materials is necessary for the MABs to be stable and effective. Due to the intricacy of the cathode side design and the presence of air, testing MABs can be difficult. A MAB prototype will be created, built, and tested to address these issues. This prototype should work with other anode/cathode materials for electrochemical testing and be reusable for other metal-air batteries. The prototype's design must have strong mechanical and chemical qualities that make it the best option for any battery system. The prototype also must be capable of enhancing the electrochemical processes taking place on both the anode and cathode sides. In conclusion, creating a MAB prototype is an essential step in developing this technology resulting in more affordable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly energy storage systems.
