The invention provides an aqueous cadmium ion-vanadium dioxide battery as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the field of ocean energy storage. The battery comprises a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a diaphragm and an aqueous electrolyte, the negative electrode is metal cadmium or cadmium-based alloy; the active material of the positive electrode is metastable monoclinic phase vanadium dioxide; the diaphragm is a glass fiber diaphragm; the aqueous electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing cadmium salt; the total concentration of the cadmium salt in the aqueous electrolyte is 1-4 mol / L. The aqueous vanadium dioxide-cadmium metal secondary battery disclosed by the invention has the advantages of safe aqueous electrolyte system, high rate capability, ultra-long cycle life and the like, and has remarkable advantages when being applied to ocean energy storage.

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.
