Zinc (Zn) particles in alkaline electrolyte of a Zn-air battery (ZAB) are unstable and prone to corrosion. Zinc oxide (ZnO) generated on the surface of Zn particles affects the electrochemical reactions and reduces the battery efficiency. Thus, inhibiting the self-corrosion rate of Zn particles has become acritical issue for the development of these batteries. In this study, a research endeavor has been attempted by employing three types and concentrations of organic inhibitors in ZABs to constrain Zn anode corrosion. Significant analyses like polarization curve, constant current discharge, AC impedance, and dendrite growth are executed for in-depth understanding of the influences of these inhibitors. The experimental results reveal that the inhibiting efficiency of 10 wt% Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate surpassed polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) and polysorbate 20 (Tween 20), with a maximum current density of 476.20 mA/cm(2)and voltage output of 1.4 V along with discharge capacitance of 10.31 Ah for 2 hours and 8 minutes. Zn anode surface analysis exposes significant dendrite growth and elemental Zn required for passivation suppression. Nevertheless, the results are also justified by Nyquist and Bode plots. Thus, the selected inhibitor will proficiently guarantee the enhanced performance and stability of the ZABs obtained and provide enormous opportunities for its applications.
