Electrolyte Additives/Corrosion Inhibitors for Anode Corrosion in Metal–Air Batteries

In metal–air batteries, the anode corrosion can be a significant issue that affects the overall performance and lifespan of the battery. To mitigate anode corrosion, electrolyte additives or corrosion inhibitors can be employed. This chapter shows commonly used additives for anode corrosion control in metal–air batteries. It’s important to note that the selection and effectiveness of these additives can vary depending on the specific metal–air battery system and operating conditions. Extensive research and testing are typically conducted to evaluate the performance and compatibility of different additives with the battery components. Furthermore, the concentration, compatibility, and stability of the additives should be carefully considered to avoid any adverse effects on battery performance or other electrochemical processes within the system.
