Abstract

The invention relates to an air battery and aims at providing a rechargeable metal hydride air battery. In the batter, an anion-exchange membrane or polypropylene non-woven fabric can be taken as the diaphragm to separate a cathode and an anode; the transverse structure sequentially comprises a cathode current collection body, a porous cathode, a diaphragm, a carrier and an anode current collection body that are sealed by a sealing ring; the carrier is coated with an anode catalyst, and the anode current collection body is provided with an air channel; an anode terminal of the air battery is led out by the anode current collection body, and a cathode terminal thereof is led out by the cathode current collection body; and the porous cathode is loaded with hydrogen-stored metal as cathode material, and electrolyte solution is absorbed in the porous cathode. The invention can avoid the short circuit of the battery and the deformation of a zinc electrode after recharging for a plurality of times caused by the formation of dendritic crystal as zinc serves as the energy storage medium in a zinc air battery, so as to increase the use times of the air battery and prolong the service life of the air battery. In the invention, single batteries can be connected with each other in series for producing the high-power air battery, so as to meet the requirement as the power supply of an electric vehicle, thereby reducing the air pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air battery and, in particular, to a rechargeable metal hydride air battery. Background technique [0002] The invention of the air battery has a history of hundreds of years. In 1878, the French scientist L. Meche used a platinum-containing porous carbon electrode instead of manganese dioxide in the zinc-manganese battery, and developed the technology of the zinc-air battery for the first time. In 1917, French scientist C. Ferry replaced platinum with activated carbon to absorb oxygen, and achieved the practical application of zinc-air batteries. In 1932, G.W. Heizer and E.A. Schmeichel published a zinc-air battery using alkaline electrolyte. In the 1960s, the development of high-power zinc-air batteries reached the stage of practical application due to the great success in the research on oxygen electrodes of normal-temperature fuel cells for aerospace. In the mid-1970s, a miniature button-type zinc-air battery w...
