The zinc-iodide cell or zinc-iodide battery is an ideal model to use at school for understanding how a rechargeable battery works.
The closed-container design suggested here provides greater safety during the experiment, and the ability to reuse the materials protects the environment and goes easy on the wallet.
Information and ideas:
As a supplement to experiment “B7 Capacitor, hydrogen, redox flow – We store renewable energy." This experiment is part of Experimento | 10+, one of the three modules of the Experimento project of the Siemens Stiftung, which includes teacher seminars and kits with experimentation materials in addition to the instructions.
