Problems solved by technology

This is because the NiZn battery has the following disadvantages: (1) low energy density: the theoretical energy density of the NiZn battery is 372Wh / kg, but now the commercial NiZn battery is 75-85Wh / kg, there is a lot of room for improvement; ( 2) Limited number of cycles: when the energy density is 75-85Wh / kg, the number of cycles is less than 500
But academically Ni(OH) 2 The disadvantages of the preparation method of carbon composite materials are (1) the modification procedure of carbon materials is very complicated, and consumes a large amount of acid and oxidant, and cannot be industrialized; (2) N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and Water as mixed solvent and Ni(AC) 2 Hydrolysis in a DMF-water mixture, DMF and Ni(AC) 2 The price is relatively expensive, which is not conducive to the transformation into practical application

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a cathode material for a nickel-zinc battery. The method comprises large-scale modification of a carbon material, so that the surface has an oxygen-containing group, and the carbon material has good dispersity in water or an organic solvent. The invention further discloses a preparation method of an Ni(OH)<2> / carbon composite material. The material is applied to a positive electrode and a Zn negative electrode to construct a soft package NiZn battery. A test result shows that the material improves the electric contact performance of the electrodes when used as an electrode material, so that the overall electrochemical properties of the electrodes and the battery including the material are improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a positive electrode material of a zinc-nickel battery and a zinc-nickel battery using the positive electrode material to prepare a positive electrode sheet. Background technique [0002] The zinc-nickel secondary battery has the characteristics of high working voltage, high power density, high energy density, no memory effect, high safety index, and low production cost. It is an environmentally friendly high-performance secondary battery. Zinc-nickel batteries have many outstanding advantages, but there are still no large-scale applications. This is because NiZn batteries have the following shortcomings: (1) Low energy density: The theoretical energy density of NiZn batteries is 372Wh / kg, but now commercial NiZn batteries are 75-85Wh / kg, which has a lot of room for improvement; 2) Limited number of cycles: When the energy density is 75-85Wh / k...
