Fig. 5: Electrochemical performances of Zn | |NiOOH full cells.

a Schematic of Zn||NiOOH coin cell used in this study. b The Zn utilization of different anodes in primary Zn | |NiOOH alkaline batteries. c Discharging capacities of the NP Zn and Zn powder anodes at 40% DoD vs. the cycle number. d Coulombic efficiency of the NP Zn and Zn powder in the lean electrolyte at 40% DoD, with an additional y-axis (between 90 and 105%) at the top to clearly show the efficiency in the first 100 cycles. e Discharging capacities of the NP Zn anode at 60% DoD. f Coulombic efficiency of the NP Zn in the lean electrolyte at 60% DoD, with an additional y-axis (between 85 and 105%) at the top to show the efficiency in the first 100 cycles.
