Problems solved by technology

[0007] Existing air batteries of this type use organic solvents as electrolytes, but such organic solvents are volatile and mix with water, so there is a safety problem when used for a long time
And, in the process of supplying air to the anode, the anode is degraded by the moisture, carbon dioxide, etc. contained in the air, and the moisture, carbon dioxide, etc. in the air are transferred to the cathode through the organic electrolyte and interact with the Lithium reacts to degrade the cathode, and as a result, there is a problem that the charge-discharge characteristics of the air battery are lowered

Embodiment 1

[0046] TGP-H-30 carbon paper from Torray Co. was used as the anode, and the electronically conductive substance in Table 1 below was used as the electronically conductive substance for coating. Mix 80 parts by weight of electronically conductive material with 20 parts by weight of binder PVDF to prepare slurry, with 1.0±0.1mg carbon / cm 2 The density is coated on the TGP-H-30 carbon paper of the TORRAY company. Thereafter, in order to remove the residual solvent, it was vacuum-dried at 100° C. for 12 hours.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lithium-air battery, and more particularly, to a lithium-air battery which comprises a gas diffusion positive electrode formed in a portion thereof contacting air, and which employs a low-volatility electrolyte, thus exhibiting the effect of preventing volatilization of the electrolyte, thereby enabling the battery to be used over a long period of time without safety problems and without degradation of the charging / discharging characteristics of the battery, and the effect of air flowing into the battery being provided in a quicker and more uniform manner while passing through the gas diffusion positive electrode, thus improving the performance of the battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium-air battery. Background technique [0002] The report shows that a lithium-air battery that uses oxygen in the air as the positive electrode active material continuously receives oxygen from the outside of the battery, and the battery can be filled with a large amount of metal lithium as the cathode active material, so it has a considerable discharge capacity. [0003] figure 1 The basic structure of this Li-air battery is shown. Such as figure 1 As shown, the structure of the lithium-air battery is to use a carbon gas diffusion oxygen electrode as the anode 10 , use metal lithium or a lithium compound as the cathode 20 , and arrange an organic electrolyte 30 between the anode 10 and the cathode 20 . [0004] In this lithium-air battery, metallic lithium (Li) of the cathode 20 is dissolved in the organic electrolyte 30 and becomes lithium ions (Li + +e - ) and reach the anode 10, and with the oxygen O in the air ...
