Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum ion battery, in particular to a rechargeable and dischargeable aluminum ion battery with a copper selenium compound as the positive electrode. Background technique [0002] Since 1990, lithium-ion batteries have been widely promoted and applied all over the world because of their advantages such as long cycle life, no memory effect, high energy density, and high working potential. Facing the bad news of the depletion of lithium resources for decades, it is imminent to develop a new battery system to replace lithium-ion batteries. [0003] In recent years, multivalent ion batteries represented by aluminum ion batteries have attracted wide attention. Aluminum is rich in resources and is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust. Furthermore, the volume specific energy density of aluminum negative electrodes is much higher than that of lithium, and aluminum-ion batteries also have the advantages of strong bendabil...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in previous reports, the research on aluminum-ion batteries has encountered many problems, such as the decomposition of positive electrode materials, low battery voltage, poor cycle performance, and difficult selection of electrolytes, etc., all of which need to be solved urgently

Of course, these articles also introduced a series of new electrode materials for Al-ion batteries, such as V 2 o 5 (Wang, H.et al.Binder-free V2O5cathode forgreener rechargeable aluminum battery[J].ACS applied materials&interfaces,2015), TiO 2 (He,Y.et al.Black mesoporous anatase TiO2nanoleaves:a high capacity and high rate anode for aqueous Al-ion batteries[J].J.Mater.Chem.A,2014), graphite fluoride (Rani,J.et al .Fluorinated Natural Graphite Cathode for Rechargeable Ionic Liquid Based Aluminum-Ion Battery[J].Journal of the Electrochemical Society,2013), Prussian blue series PBAs(Reed,L.D.et al.A rechargeable aluminum-ion batteryutilizing a copper hexacyanode inferrate catho organic electrolyte[J].Chemical communications,2015), etc., but the discharge specific capacity of these materials is low and the cycle performance is not ideal, which is far from meeting the requirements of commercial aluminum-ion battery electrode materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high specific capacity and long cycle life. Aluminum ion battery cathode material is particularly important

[0004] So far, there is no report about copper selenide compound as positive electrode material and aluminum ion battery with this positive electrode.
