ZINC ELECTRODE

The present invention relates to a zinc electrode (100) on which a solid metallic zinc layer (300) is electrodeposited, an electrochemical cell and a method for zinc electrodeposition in the electrochemical cell. According to the invention, a zinc electrode (100) is provided, wherein the zinc electrode (100) comprises a current collector material (200) on which a zinc layer (300) is electrodeposited, wherein the zinc layer (300) appears as compact solid metal, comprises a boulder-like and/or layerlike microstructure, and is adherent with a compact porosity.
