The invention discloses a novel green and environment-friendly
magnesium air battery
anode material and a preparation method thereof. The
anode material comprises the following components: 1.0-5.0% of Ga, 0.5-5.0% of Sn, 0-3.0% of In and the balance of Mg, wherein the content of
impurity elements is controlled as follows: less than 0.01% of Fe, less than 0.01% of Ni and less than 0.01% of Cu. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) performing
alloy preparation in an
induction heating furnace, adding Mg and Sn in the form of pure
metal, raising the temperature to 690-710 DEG C under the
atmosphere of protective gas, adding Mg-Ga and Mg-In intermediate
alloy after all additives are molten, continuously stirring, controlling the temperature to 720-740 DEG C, and controlling the stirring time to 10-20 minutes; (2) after stirring is completed, pouring into a mold, further cooling the mold to 600-650 DEG C, then rapidly cooling, controlling the temperature to 350-400 DEG C, and then carrying out heat preservation for 5-24 hours; and after heat preservation is finished,
water cooling is rapidly conducted to the
room temperature, and a cast
ingot is obtained after the mold is removed.
