The invention relates to the field of aqueous
zinc ion batteries, a simple
coprecipitation method is adopted, a basic
copper nitrate protective layer is coated on the surface of a
zinc anode, on one hand, the basic
copper nitrate protective layer has a unique hydrophobic structure, so that H2O molecules in a solution are not easily in direct contact with Zn, a series of side reactions such as
hydrogen evolution and a by-product Zn4 (OH) 6SO4. XH2O caused by H2O
erosion are greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the basic
copper nitrate protective layer has a unique hydrophobic structure. The uniformly distributed CNO provides more sites for Zn < 2 + >
nucleation, so that Zn < 2 + > is uniformly deposited on the surface of the negative
electrode in the
deposition process, the'point effect 'caused by non-uniform deposition of Zn < 2 + > is effectively reduced, and the prepared CNO-Zn negative
electrode has the service life of 1600 hours in a test of an assembled symmetrical battery compared with a pure
zinc negative
electrode, and has the advantages of high stability, high reliability and the like. In a coulombic efficiency test, a
half cell assembled with a Cu foil can be circulated for 1600 cycles relative to a bare Zn electrode (190 cycles) CNO (at) Zn
half cell, and the coulombic efficiency is stabilized at 99.8%. And compared with a pure zinc negative electrode, the total battery assembled with the Al-MnO2 negative electrode has higher capacity
retention rate and longer service life.
