Abstract: 
Electrically rechargeable zinc oxygen batteries are promising energy storage devices. They appeal due to the abundance of zinc metal and their high energy density. Research on zinc oxygen batteries is currently focusing on the development of electrode materials. Since the progress is rapid and no state-of-the-art is agreed upon yet, it is difficult to benchmark their performance. This circumstance also complicates the use of the generated electrochemical data for model-based research - simulating the processes in the battery requires reliable performance data and material properties from experimental investigations. Herein we describe reproducible data on the cycling performance and durability of zinc oxygen batteries. We utilize anodes and gas diffusion electrodes (with the bifunctional catalysts Sr2CoO3Cl, Ru-Sn oxide, and Fe0.1Ni0.9Co2O4 with activated carbon) with low degradation during cycling, and present voltage data of current-dependent discharge and charge. All in all, we stimulate to reuse the data for parameter fitting in model-based work, and also to evaluate novel battery materials by preventing or minimizing side reactions with the testing protocol and setup utilized.
