For rechargeable zinc-air battery, the ORR takes place at triple phase boundary among air electrode, oxygen gas and liquid electrolyte. The generated OH − will migrate to metallic Zn anode and reacts with Zn. These reactions are reversed with zincate ions back to metallic Zn and the evolution of oxygen .
Zinc-based batteries are rechargeable, using zinc as the anode material. During discharge, zinc atoms oxidize, releasing zinc ions that travel through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they are reduced and incorporated into the cathode structure. Electrons released during oxidation generate electricity by flowing through an external circuit.
