Problems solved by technology

[0004] In acidic medium, the problem of dendrite and deformation of zinc anode is alleviated than in alkaline electrolyte, but still needs to be improved
In addition, hydrogen evolution reaction is easy to occur in acidic medium, thus generating self-discharge and reducing current efficiency
These technical problems hinder the industrial development of this type of battery

example 2

[0022] Example 2, the negative electrolyte contains the zinc cerium battery of additive.

[0023] (1) positive electrode electrolyte and negative electrode electrolyte are the same as example 1.

[0024] (2) Add the following additives to 100ml negative electrode solution:

[0025] -weigh boric acid 2.0g, borax 1.5g;

[0026] -weigh 0.02g of indium hydroxide;

[0027] -Weigh lead oxide 0.02g;

[0028] - Take 0.5 g of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

[0029] - Stir and dissolve the added additives under heating conditions, and cool to room temperature.

[0030] (3) Battery assembly and experimental parameter setting According to the description in Example 1, charge and discharge tests were carried out. The maximum charge voltage of the battery is 2.96V, the maximum discharge voltage is 2.22V, the discharge time above 1V within one cycle can reach 27min, the discharge time above 0.2V can reach 27.5min, and the Coulombic efficiency is 91.7%. The results show that after addi...
