Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, ordinary conductive additives, whether zero-dimensional or one-dimensional or other shapes, cannot solve the problem of densification of the zinc powder electrode caused by the redistribution of active materials in the zinc anode. With the repeated charging and discharging of the battery, The porosity of the electrode and the specific surface area of ​​the reaction decrease rapidly, and the H involved in the electrochemical reaction 2 O and OH - As a result, the ion diffusion channel is blocked, which eventually leads to the improvement of the discharge capacity and rate performance of the battery and cannot be maintained, and the cycle life of the battery is low.

Abstract

The invention discloses a zinc negative electrode material of a zinc air cell and a preparation method for the zinc negative electrode material. The negative electrode material comprises metal zinc powder, zinc oxide powder, a binder, and a dual-functional additive with a one-dimensional tubular structure and formed by dual-layer metal oxide; the preparation method comprises the steps of adding the metal zinc powder, the zinc oxide powder, a conductive agent and the dual-functional additive into a binder-containing solution, performing ultrasonic dispersion processing, and heating and evaporating a solvent while stirring to obtain the zinc negative electrode material. The zinc negative electrode material is added with the dual-functional additive which can lower electrode internal resistance as well as supply a diffusion channel for an electrolyte, so that the discharging capacity and the rate capability of the cell can be improved; and meanwhile, a titanium dioxide inner layer has super-hydrophilic property and insulativity, so that the water delivery property of the electrolyte diffusion channel is forcefully enlarged, channel blocking is prevented, and the cycling life and the capacity stability of the cell are effectively prolonged and improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a zinc negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a zinc negative electrode material used in an alkaline zinc-air secondary battery, which belongs to the field of air batteries. Background technique [0002] The alkaline zinc-air secondary battery has the advantages of high capacity, high open circuit voltage, low cost of raw materials, environmental friendliness and safety, and is a green, high-energy and environment-friendly secondary battery. However, zinc-air secondary batteries are susceptible to the densification of the zinc negative electrode, the passivation during the discharge process, and the deformation and dendrite growth during the charge process, resulting in low discharge capacity of the battery, rapid capacity decay during discharge, and unstable capacity. As a result, its application has been greatly restricted. [0003] Zinc oxide, as the oxidation product of the negative ...
