Abstract

The invention provides a housing (310) for the cathode and the anode of a zinc/air fuel cell. The housing (310) includes a first housing component (312) which defines a chamber (320) for the anode and an air cathode opening (324) leading into the anode chamber (320). A second housing component (314) is connected to the first housing component (312) so as to extend across the air cathode opening (324) in the first housing component (312), and the air cathode is located between the first and second housing components so as to extend over at least a portion of the air cathode opening (324). The housing (310) also includes a seal (340) which is located around the air cathode opening (324) between the first and second housing components and which forms a hermetic seal between the first and second housing components.
