Abstract
An electrolyte of a static zinc-based battery, includes a) zinc bromide in molar concentration from 1.5M to 3.0M, b) tetraethylammonium bromide as a bromine complexing agent in half of the molar concentration of the zinc bromide, c) a glycol based anti-freezing agent in molar concentration from 1.0M to 2.0M, d) zinc chloride as supporting ionic conducting agent in molar concentration from 1.0M to 4.0M, and e) an additional supporting ionic conducting agent in molar concentration from about 2.0M to 4.0M. The electrolyte minimizes the self-discharge of the static zinc-based battery and improves the energy density of the static zinc-based battery.
