Abstract

An essential property of conducting carbon blacks used in Leclanché type batteries is to absorb electrolyte. This paper shows that the total pore volume is usually accessible to electrolyte. This volume is dependent on the mechanical conditions of preparation of the cathode mixture; it strongly decreases with the pressure applied during compression of the cathode.
