Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a zinc electrode of a zinc-air battery. The zinc electrode is obtained by carrying out dry pressing and vacuum drying treatment on active zinc powder used for an alkaline battery; the preparation method specifically comprises the following steps of: 1) uniformly mixing zinc powder and a corrosion inhibitor, and a cohesive material according to the mass ratio of the proportion at 100:(0.5-1.0):(2-10)and dispersing so as to form a zinc powder mixture; 2) pouring the zinc powder mixture into a mould paved with an electrical conduction affluxion body, and preparing the zinc electrode with a mould shape under the pressure of 5-15 MPa in a depressed manner; and 3) putting the zinc electrode of the mould shape into a vacuum drying oven, heating for 30-240 minutes at the temperature of 50-200 DEG C, solidifying and bonding the cohesive material in the zinc electrode to obtain the required zinc electrode. The zinc-air battery using the zinc battery can be stored and the problems such as dehydration moisture absorption, leakage and electrolyte carbonation and the like can not occur, and the service life and storage period of the battery are greatly prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical power sources, in particular to a method for preparing a zinc electrode for a zinc-air battery. Background technique [0002] At present, in the field of electrochemical power source technology, due to its unique structure, zinc-air batteries have the advantages of high specific energy, stable discharge voltage, high safety, low price, and environmental friendliness. One of the focuses in the field of chemical research. [0003] The working principle of the zinc-air battery is: zinc is the anode active material, oxygen in the air is the cathode active material, and potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte; the anode reaction of zinc oxidation to zinc oxide occurs on the zinc electrode, and the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen occurs on the air electrode. Cathodic reaction of oxygen radicals. Since the cathode reactant is oxygen in the air and does not need to be stored in the battery, the z...
