Trying to prevent ZnCl2 to react with steel
Trying to prevent ZnCl2 to react with steel
(OP)
Working on a battery with a steel casing.
Steel casing is lined with graphite paint but the zncl2 inside the battery still reacts with the steel.
Does Ag react with ZnCl2 ? is there a way to coat Pure graphite on steel (enough to prevent the reaction with ZnCl2)
I have tried to use 0.02mm pure graphite flake foil whoch seems to work but will be cost prohibitive in mass production.
Thanks

Other chemistry batteries do not have the issue of zncl2 , in our research we are bound by zncl2 for other reasons.
Graphite does protect the steel but trying apply it to the inside of a can is still a challenge.

Zinc acts as an anode in a conventional zinc-carbon battery and does not use a steel can for conductivity.
I am looking for insight as to how best apply a pure graphite coating or alternative coating such as Ag to prevent short circuiting as a result of zncl2 reacting.
