SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INITIALIZING AND OPERATING METAL-AIR CELL

A method and system for creating low corrosion passivation layer on an anode in a metal-air cell comprise asserting high negative potential and low drawn current density on the cell after its operational parameters have stabilized after the cell has been powered-on. As a result the Hevolution rate momentarily raises and then drops sharply, thereby causing the creation of a passivation layer on the face of the anode.
