Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, although the standard electrode potential of zinc (-0.762V) is much negative than the standard electrode potential of nickel (-0.246V), zinc is deposited preferentially over nickel during the electroplating process, which belongs to abnormal electrolytic co-deposition. It is difficult to accurately control the co-deposition rate of zinc and nickel, which will easily lead to problems such as poor distribution of elements in the resulting zinc-nickel alloy and rough coating.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a porous zinc-nickel alloy negative electrode material for a zinc-air battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of new energy technology development. Background technique [0002] As an energy storage device, the battery can well store the electric energy generated by other clean energy sources and provide it to various devices, so it has been widely used and researched. As an aqueous metal-air battery, zinc-air batteries have the advantages of high specific energy, good safety, stable discharge voltage, abundant raw materials, and environmental friendliness. But at the same time, alkaline zinc-air batteries have problems such as easy corrosion of negative electrode materials, dendrite formation, negative electrode deformation, and zinc dissolution. These problems hinder the further commercial application of zinc-air batteries. [0003] As the active material of the alkaline zinc-air battery, the performa...
