This invention discloses an aluminum-containing
heavy water-based
electrolyte, its preparation method, and its applications. The
electrolyte comprises a
solvent and a solute. The
solvent includes
heavy water, a deuterated
solvent, and a low-barrier
hydrogen bond reconstructing agent. The solute comprises a main aluminum salt and an auxiliary monovalent
metal salt. This
electrolyte can construct low-barrier
hydrogen bonds in solution by controlling the
solvent composition, significantly reducing the activity of water in the solution, improving the electrochemical stability of the solution, and suppressing side reactions. Simultaneously, it improves the electrochemical
reaction behavior of aluminum in the solution and at the electrolyte /
electrode interface, which is beneficial for improving the electrochemical deposition efficiency of aluminum in
aqueous solution.
