Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) The cost of electrode catalysts is high: the electrode catalysts are mainly Pt, Pd or their complexes with other metals, the cost is high, and the limited resources of Pt (or Pd) on the earth severely limit the practical application of this type of battery. application
[0007] (2) The use of ion-exchange membranes not only increases the cost, but also complicates the battery structure: the cost of ion-exchange membranes in the entire battery is about 20-30%, and the use of ion-exchange membranes leads to complex battery structures, which are very important for battery maintenance and catalysts. It is very difficult to replace, etc., so it also seriously restricts the commercial application of this type of battery
[0008] (3) During the operation of the battery, the catalyst is easily poisoned by the intermediate product of alcohol oxidation, thus losing its activity, which is not conducive to the long-term operation of the battery
[0010] The positive electrode reaction of this battery is also the reduction reaction of oxygen (air), and the negative electrode reaction is the oxidation reaction of iron (Fe). The electrolyte can be acidic, neutral or alkaline. However, although Fe is easily oxidized in acidic solution, it is The self-loss of iron / air batteries with this composition is very serious, that is, Fe is easily oxidized to Fe in acidic solution 2+ And release hydrogen, so in this case, it is often necessary to modify the iron electrode, or add other components to Fe, so as to prevent the spontaneous dissolution of Fe, but these methods cannot fundamentally solve the self-loss problem of Fe
Although the spontaneous dissolution rate of Fe decreases in neutral or alkaline solutions, the Fe surface is easily passivated, which prevents further oxidation reactions at the negative electrode (i.e., Fe)
