Problems solved by technology

[0009] (1) The concentration of dissolved oxygen in seawater is low, and the activity of cathode materials is poor;
[0010] (2) The working current density of the battery is low and the power density is poor;
[0011] (3) When outputting high power, the required cathode area is large, resulting in a bulky battery
[0013] The currently commercialized SWB1200 seawater dissolved oxygen battery (Kongsberg Simrad company, Norway) adopts a carbon fiber brush electrode as the positive electrode of the seawater dissolved oxygen battery (Sea-water battery for subsea control systems.J.Power Sources, 1997, 65: 253-261), due to the limited catalytic activity of the untreated carbon fiber brush electrode for the reduction reaction of the oxygen cathode, resulting in a large battery size, poor power characteristics, and a volume specific power of only 2.7mW / L

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a positive electrode for a seawater dissolved oxygen battery and a seawater dissolved oxygen battery adopting the positive electrode, belonging to the field of electrochemistry technology. Background technique [0002] The marine environmental conditions are complex, and the equipment used in the ocean is required to work stably for a long time, which has high requirements on the power supply. Due to the inconvenience of charging in the marine environment, the power supply needs to store a large amount of energy at a time to meet the long-term use requirements. The service life and safety of the conventional power supply in seawater need to be improved. It needs to be placed in a specific pressure container during use. The overall technical requirements Relatively high. It is precisely because of these problems that a seawater power system using natural seawater as a medium has shown greater advantages in some specific applications...
