Detailed Description of the invention:

There is an electro herbal cell that has similar outer design according to the industry standards but differs in internal design.

It has a liquid electrolyte.

The liquid electrolyte is 100% herbal in nature.

It is a cylindrical looking battery made up of zinc with a graphite rod inserted in the electrolyte which is liquid in nature.

It is a battery which does not harm the environment.

Layers of a battery

• Electrolyte

Medium that supports the ion transport mechanism between the cathode and anode of a cell.

The aqueous electrolyte has been designed to provide eco friendly potential.

Useful properties of our electrolyte are- Herbal Economically viable in the long run.

Widely available Better electronic migration

Electrolyte of ALOE ECELL consists of -

- Aloe Vera (ALOE BARBADENSIS MILLER) gel extract Aloe Vera leaf extract

Vitamin E Gel Clove oil

- Accuzuur Citric Acid

• Cathode-

Terminal through which electric current flows out of a polarized electrical gadget, wherein the direction of electric current is opposite to the direction of the flow of the electron.

Properties of a cathode-

- efficient oxidising agent.

- stable when in contact with the electrolyte. in ALOE ECELL, the cathode is Sintered Graphite Electrode

• Anode-

The anode is the positive electrode of a primary cell and is always associated with the oxidation or the release of electrons into the external circuit. Properties of an Anode-

Good conductivity.

Economically viable.

In ALOE ECELL, the anode is the zinc container

It encloses the electrolyte and cathode and is covered by the metal jacket.

• Separate r-

A separator is a permeable membrane placed between a battery's anode and cathode. ... Separators are critical components in liquid electrolyte batteries. A separator generally consists of a polymeric membrane forming a microporous layer. . It must be chemically and electrochemically stable with regard to the electrolyte and electrode materials and mechanically strong enough to withstand the high tension during battery construction. They are important to batteries because their structure and properties considerably affect the battery performance, including the batteries energy and power densities, cycle life, and safety.

Properties of a separator- chemically stable against the electrolyte and electrode materials under the strongly reactive environments when the battery is fully charged. sandwiched between the zinc container wall and the internal container wall. thin enough (not too thin also) to facilitate the battery's energy and power densities. sufficient pore density to hold liquid electrolyte that enables ions to move between the electrodes. uniformly porous but the pore size should be smaller than the particle size of the electrode components. ionically permeable to provide uniform current density distribution. strong enough to withstand the tension of the winding operations during battery assembly. the electrolyte is able to permanently wet the separator, preserving the cycle life stable over a wide temperature range without curling or puckering, laying completely flat.

In ALOE ECELL, there are two layers of separators to provide tensile strength, impact resistance, durability and uniform charge cycle.

Layer 1 or Outer Layer : Separator Pouch Layer 2 or Inner Layer : Internal Container

• Outer Packaging-

Battery container to hold the complete battery structure, the electrode and the electrolyte which is made up of zinc.

The zinc battery container is enclosed with the Lock seam metal jacket internally lined with the polyethylene layer to provide leak protection, impact resistance and prevents leakage.

Brief description of the drawings:

Figure 1 shows the Sintered Graphite Electrode with the Electrode Holder Ring.

The Sintered Graphite rod is inserted into the electrolyte and the electrode holder ring is pressed against the electrolyte in the container to keep the electrolyte and rod in place forbidding its movement.
