Abstract

The invention discloses a zinc-air battery pack employing vertical circulation of an electrolyte. The zinc-air battery pack comprises a box body, a top plate, zinc electrode support frames, zinc anode plates, zinc electrode conducting plates, an anode terminal, air cathode plates, an air electrode conducting plate and a cathode terminal. The zinc anode plates and the air cathode plates are arranged at an included angle which is greater than 0 and smaller than 180 degrees from the horizontal plane, so that the defect of insufficient current intensity caused by an electrode putting way is improved. Meanwhile, a detachable form is adopted by the zinc anode plates and the air cathode plates, so that late maintenance, replacement and disassembly are relatively simple and convenient. Certain gaps exist between the zinc anode plates and the air cathode plates; after the height of the horizontal liquid level of the electrolyte exceeds the heights of the zinc anode plates, the electrolyte drops down along the gaps in a form similar to a waterfall due to the action of gravity; the electrolyte contacts the zinc anode plates and the air cathode plates in the dropping process; and batteries are discharged immediately. Therefore, the space utilization rate of the battery pack is improved; and relatively high current density is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of battery pack assembly, and in particular relates to a vertical circulation zinc-air battery pack with electrolyte solution. Background technique [0002] Zinc-air batteries have become a research hotspot in recent years due to their high energy, high power density, safety and economy. Compared with lithium batteries, zinc-air batteries have higher energy and lower prices, making them the most valuable power batteries in the future. However, due to the limitations of existing zinc-air batteries, the discharge current density of zinc-air batteries cannot meet the requirements of market applications. In the article "Research on Air Electrode Arrangement in Zinc-air Batteries", Zhu Mei improved battery performance by changing the air electrode arrangement and optimizing electrolyte circulation. For example, after experimenting with horizontal and vertical arrangements of air electrodes, it was found that the maximum ...
