Problems solved by technology

Due to the generation of insoluble metal oxides on the positive electrode during the discharge process, these metal oxides continue to accumulate in the pores of the conductive carbon material, resulting in a decrease in the transport capacity of oxygen and metal ions in the positive electrode, thereby reducing the redox reaction rate and causing metal air. The energy conversion efficiency and power density of the battery are reduced

[0035] The preparation method of the positive electrode 10 of the metal-air battery may be: pulling the carbon nanotube film 122 from the carbon nanotube array; loading catalyst particles 14 on the surface of the carbon nanotube film 122 to form a catalyst composite carbon nanotube film; and A plurality of catalyst-composite carbon nanotube films are stacked on each other to form the positive electrode 10 of the metal-air battery. When the positive electrode 10 of the metal-air battery has a positive current collector 16 , the stacking of multiple catalyst-composite carbon nanotube films refers to stacking the catalyst-composite carbon nanotube films on the surface of the positive current collector 16 .

[0036] The method for loading catalyst particles on the surface of the carbon nanotube film may be chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition, such as vacuum evaporation or magnetron sputtering. When the catalyst particles are loaded, the mass percentage of the ca...
