for anyone willing to make some zinc powder, and for some reason doenst have zinc oxide nearby but has d2 batteries, you can directly dissolve metal zinc in sodium hydroxide, just know that depending on the brand the battery internals changes, in my opinion, of you want to take it apart easily and have nice clean zinc case, rather than rayovac that gas some weird solic black glue that can be a pain to deal woth it since i have no idea what it is also, i measured the zinc body of the batteries i recently dissasembled, and my scale says both are 9 grams, that may change from battery from battery, brand from brand, but average i think it's not far off to suppose it would be around ~9 grams for most batteries from most brands if you for some reason dont want to wait to zonc oxide to arrive, have to make zinc oxide or have some zinc metal around and dont want to buy zinc oxide, i hope this helps! but if you really are in a hurry, i shouldnt have to mention but i will anyway: dissolving the zinc metal into solution will take a lot longer than fine zinc oxide powder! as a side note: as always, when reacting metals, clean it as best as you can, sand it all around, steel wool, steel brush as best as you can to make the reaction faster, the cleaner the faster it will react

FYI industrially zinc is plated using alkaline cyanide bath and also alkaline pyrophosphate solution. Rem electromotive force series is different in alkaline vs acid e.g. hydrogen is 0.0 volts in acid and -0.8 volts in alkali. Also the area around the negative electrode attracts zinc positive ions not negative zincate ions; need agitation.

1:20 Ain't sure but try 12V 1 Amp then like he said drop to %20 current( .2A = 200mA ) For electrolysis current is more important than voltage but since voltage is a path to current then it must be high(12v) See this, if you got a variable power supply like Gophert, it will read you how much voltage/amperage(current) is being consumed by electrolysis or use 2 cheap DMMs if you only got a 12v dc adapter/source. the one that reads voltage connects parallel to +/- wires and the one that reads amperage/current connected in series, meaning before the + or - electrode. www.harborfreight.com/7-function-digital-multimeter-92020.html (if you already got a DMM then that is good so just get another and if not you want one of the DMMs to be decent(not very) like Aneng 8008 for example)

@NurdRage I am wanting to purify some zinc for our periodic table. My source material is some rather nasty corroded zinc from dead zinc-chloride batteries. I have saved the manganese dioxide / electrolyte paste and carbon electrodes.i am just wondering if a lye in water solution will dissolve the zinc and zinc oxides, maybe chlorides or other corrosion products? Would the electrolysis process then leave contaminates in solution and maybe also form an anode sludge of less soluble material? I am not a chemist, just trying to work things out to keep my two son's interested in doing these experiments.

I cheated by using an ultrasonic source to stimulate the slow zinc reaction. Sonication stimutates grignard start and really seams to help with multiphase reactions (e.g. conc NaHSO4, NaBr, MeOH > MeBr). We took a grinder to a welding "zinc" but powder was too oxidized needed activation.
