Abstract

The invention belongs to the chemical power supply field, and concretely relates to a high-energy-density Li-air battery air electrode, and a battery and a making method thereof. The air battery is a non-aqueous chargeable Li-air (or Li/O2) battery concretely, and comprises a lithium metal negative electrode, a non-aqueous electrolyte, a diaphragm and the air electrode, the air electrode comprises a catalyst, a carrier and a binder, and the carrier is a composite double pore system material composed of nano-graphene having a two-dimensional nanostructure, a high heat conduction coefficient (-5000W/m.k), a high specific surface area (-2630m<2>/g) and a high electrical conductivity (10<3>-10<4>Sm<-1> and an SiO2 aerogel, provides a circulation channel and a storage space for O2 and discharge reaction products respectively, and adopts a double-surface electrode structure; and the non-aqueous electrolyte adopts a lithium salt and organic solvent mixed electrolyte, and has the advantages of high electrical conduction, low volatility, good chemical stability and the like. The oxygen-selective diaphragm is added to the air battery to increase the pressure of O2 in a reaction area and prevent water in air from entering the battery, so the metallic lithium is effectively protected, and the safety of the battery is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemistry, and more specifically relates to an air electrode of a lithium-air battery with high energy density, the battery and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] A lithium-air battery is a battery that uses lithium as the anode and oxygen in the air as the cathode reactant. The discharge process is as follows: the lithium at the anode releases electrons and becomes Li + , Li + Through the electrolyte material, it combines with oxygen and electrons flowing from the external circuit at the cathode to form lithium oxide (Li 2 O) or lithium peroxide (Li 2 o 2 ), and stay at the cathode. The opposite reaction occurs during charging to release oxygen. Both reactions take place on the surface of the carbon electrode. [0003] Lithium-air batteries have higher specific energy than lithium-ion batteries. In theory, since oxygen is not limited as a cathode reactant, the capacity of t...
