Abstract

An aluminum-air battery electrolyte comprises an alkaline electrolyte solution and a corrosion inhibitor, which is composed of an inorganic corrosion inhibitor, casein, and an antifoaming agent, wherein the inorganic corrosion inhibitor is one or more of sodium stannate and zinc oxide, and the antifoaming agent is one or more of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether, polyoxypropylene glycerol ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene pentaerythritol ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, and sorbitan monostearate. The provided aluminum-air battery electrolyte has the advantages of low cost, high safety, green, and environment-friendliness. At the same time, the anode hydrogen evolution self-corrosion rate is prominently reduced, the open circuit potential of an aluminum anode is negatively shifted, and thus the aluminum anode has the advantages of good corrosion resistant performance and high electrochemical activity. The electrolyte has an important meaning for prolonging the battery service life and increasing the electric power.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal-air batteries, and specifically relates to an aluminum-air battery electrolyte; the invention also relates to a preparation method of the aluminum-air battery electrolyte. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-air batteries use metal aluminum or its alloys as the anode fuel, oxygen in the air as the oxidant, salt water (NaCl aqueous solution) or strong alkali solution (NaOH, KOH, etc.) as the electrolyte, and convert the chemical energy of the metal fuel directly into electrical energy. An electrochemical reaction device. The main features of the aluminum-air battery are: high theoretical energy density (8100Wh / kg), as long as the metal fuel is continuously supplied, the battery can continuously and stably provide electric energy. The metal anode can be replaced mechanically, and the battery can be stored in a dry state for a long time. The preparation of the battery does not use harmful materials...
