Abstract
The use of synthetic binder led to environmental issues due to undergo chemical processes in manufacturing sector and even made it expensive material. Therefore, the present study focused on use of natural binder for porous zinc (Zn) anode because its advantages of abundance in raw material, biodegradable, environmental acceptability and cost effectiveness. Bacto-agar and commercial agar powder were selected as natural binder and both agars were characterized their morphologies using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images showed the difference in morphological structure between porous Zn anode with Bacto-agar binder and porous Zn anode with commercial agar binder. Bacto-agar binder possesses smooth surface compare to commercial agar binder indicated that Zn powder successfully mix with Bacto-agar.
