The invention belongs to the field of novel
energy storage batteries, and discloses a high-rate long-cycle lead-
halogen battery and a preparation method thereof. The battery comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode, a diaphragm and
electrolyte, wherein the negative
electrode is an electrode containing
metal lead; the
electrolyte takes soluble
lead salt as a solute and water or organic liquid as a
solvent; an active material of the positive electrode is selected from any one of the following: (a) a
halogen composite material which is formed by loading
halogen X2 on a
carrier material, and the halogen X2 is Br2 or I2; wherein the
carrier material is selected from a carbon material or a ligand framework material; (b) a halogen-containing compound; and (c) a halogen-containing compound
composite material, wherein the halogen-containing compound
composite material is formed by loading a halogen-containing compound on a carbon material. In the charging and discharging process of the battery, the negative electrode Pb is subjected to oxidation / reduction reaction, Pb < 2 + > in the
electrolyte is migrated to the positive electrode to form
solid PbX2 with halogen, and the shuttle effect of a multi-halogen intermediate is effectively inhibited. The battery can realize complete charging and discharging in a short time, has excellent rate capability, and has super-long cycle stability under
high current density.
