Abstract
In this research work, a calculation method has been developed to measure the electromotive force (EMF) for PKL cell beside the electrochemistry of the PKL cell. It was found that the EMF of a PKL cell depends on equilibrium constant (K) for a cell reaction and it has been also developed the equation for a cell voltage determination. The discharge characteristics of the traditional cell have also been studied comparison with PKL cell without load. The variation of capacity rate (%) of the traditional cell with the variation of time duration (h) has been studied at various temperatures. The variation of short circuit current and capacity of a PKL cell with the variation of time duration has been studied at room temperature with and without secondary salt. The variation of short circuit current and open circuit voltage of a PKL cell with time duration has been studied at room temperature with and without secondary salt. The variation of Capacity rate (%) of the PKL cell with time duration (h) has been reported. However, it is also shown that during self-discharge, the current, voltage and power varies with the variation of the surface area of the zinc plate. Moreover, the performance of the PKL cell was better for the electrolyte prepared by the extract without secondary salt for low power generation.
