NOVELTY - Rechargeable zinc electrode comprises a current collector and a composition comprising: (a) a zinc or zinc alloy powder; (b) optionally zinc oxide or zinc oxide alloyed powder; (c) a thermoplastic organic binder material; and (d) optionally a gelling agent, where the electrode is porous.    USE - The rechargeable zinc electrode is useful for preparing rechargeable battery for operating vehicle, where vehicle is an electric car, and for providing power needed to run the car (all claimed). It can also be used in portable electronics and drones.    ADVANTAGE - Method for producing zinc electrode providing dimensional/geometrical stability during a battery charge/discharge operation is provided.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a rechargeable battery comprising at least one anode and at least one cathode, where the anode comprising a current collector and a composition comprising: (a) a zinc powder; (b) a zinc oxide powder; (c) thermoplastic organic binder material; and (d) optionally a gelling agent, where the anode is porous;    (2) a composition for preparing a rechargeable zinc electrode comprising: (a) a zinc powder or zinc alloy powder; (b) optionally a zinc oxide or a zinc oxide alloyed powder; (c) a thermoplastic organic binder material; (d) optionally a pore former material; and (e) optionally a gelling agent;    (3) a method for producing a zinc electrode, involving: (a) preparing a homogeneous mixture consisting of zinc or zinc alloy powder, optionally zinc oxide or zinc oxide alloyed powder, a polymer powdered material, optionally a pore former material, and optionally a gelling agent; (b) pasting, pressing or rolling the homogeneous mixture on top and/or around a current collector thus forming a dry green compact; (c) sintering the formed dry green compact at a temperature above the melting point of the polymer powdered material; and (d) optionally removing the pore former or its portions by dissolving the sintered dry green compact in a liquid; and    (4) a method of operating a vehicle, involving providing a rechargeable battery comprising at least one anode and at least one cathode, where the anode comprising: (a) a zinc or zinc alloy powder (1.0-99.0%); (b) optionally a zinc oxide or zinc oxide alloyed powder (99.0-1.0%); (c) a thermoplastic organic binder material (0.1-10%); and (d) optionally a gelling agent (0.01-10%); and using the battery to operate a vehicle.
