The invention discloses a
zinc ion battery and a preparation method thereof, the
zinc ion battery comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode, a diaphragm and an
electrolyte, and the
zinc ion battery is characterized in that the positive
electrode comprises a
vanadium-based material, and the
vanadium-based material comprises
vanadium pentoxide intercalated by water molecules and
metal ions and an MXene
coating layer; the
electrolyte comprises zinc salt, water and an additive, the additive comprises positive ions and negative ions, and the negative ions have the structure shown in the formula I. According to the
zinc ion battery, water molecules and
metal ions are used for intercalating vanadium
pentoxide and
coating MXene, and the water molecules and the
metal ions are cooperatively used with the
electrolyte with specific composition, so that ions can be quickly intercalated / deintercalated, the
intrinsic conductivity of the material is enhanced, the structure of the material is stabilized, vanadium
dissolution / metal ion
dissolution at the positive electrode side can be prevented, and the service life of the
zinc ion battery is prolonged. And the side reactions of interface
hydrogen evolution and
corrosion caused by
decomposition of active water molecules on the zinc negative electrode side are synergistically inhibited. Through the comprehensive action of the factors, the
zinc ion battery has excellent electrochemical performance.
