N2 - Electric vehicles which used electric energy as its power source has been popular because traditional vehicles burning fossil fuels are not environmentally friendly. It is necessary to develop electric energy which is clean, low-cost and high efficiency. Fe-air battery was a good choice as alternative power source because of high-energy density, abundance, and safety. However, some problems, such as electrode efficiency, self-discharge and passivation in alkaline solution have limited its application, catalytic efficiency was also enough of challenge. Here we study and improved the Fe-air battery including iron electrode, electrolyte and cathode, learned major factor increase the battery efficiency and decrease some battery problems. Further, we tried to study the relationship between corrosion potential, passivation and anode reaction, explore why passivation occurs and passivation preventive measures.
