Abstrakt		Environmental pollution with mercury resulting from waste batteries has stimulated numerous investigations aimed at eliminating from zinc anodes in zinc batteries. The main task of a mercury reduction programme is to teplace mercury by a substance that conforms to environmental requirements and which reduces hydrogen gassing without impeding zinc dissolution. In the present study several perfluoro organic compounds were tested as possible candidates for inhibition of hydrogen evolution in zinc alkaline batteries. The addition of an organic compound was tested for four different types of zinc powder containing various minor elements. Gas evolution and electrochemical experiments were used in the study. Based on these experiments, the compound acting as the best inhibitor of hydrogen evolution was selected.
