Problems solved by technology

However, the currently used porous carbon air cathodes are all obtained by stacking carbon materials to create pores. The utilization rate of the pores is low, the connectivity is poor, and the mass transfer capacity is poor, so that the discharge product Li 2 o 2 The storage space of lithium-air batteries is limited, which directly leads to high overpotential of lithium-air batteries, poor charge and discharge utilization and low number of cycles.
On the other hand, the oxygen reduction / precipitation catalyst in the existing porous carbon air cathode is mainly loaded by mechanical mixing, which cannot effectively exert the synergistic effect between the carrier and the catalyst, and further deteriorates the energy conversion efficiency and rate of lithium-air batteries. performance

According to the preparation method for the air electrode, a hard template method and an electrophoretic technology are reasonably combined, a process is simple, the operation is convenient, the cost is low, an additive is avoided, a complex powder electrode preparation process is eliminated, and the stability of an air positive electrode is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy materials, in particular to an air electrode for a lithium-air battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Lithium-air batteries have attracted extensive attention due to their high theoretical energy density, but in order to realize their applications, a series of problems need to be solved, such as high overpotential, poor charge and discharge utilization, and low cycle times. When a lithium-air battery is working, oxygen is first reduced to O on the surface of the porous carbon air cathode. 2 - , followed by Li in the electrolyte + combined to form the product Li 2 o 2 . Due to the discharge product Li 2 o 2 It cannot be dissolved in organic electrolyte, so it can only be deposited on the air positive electrode with peroxide negative ions. However, the currently used porous carbon air positive electrodes are all obtained by stacking carbon mate...
