Problems solved by technology

[0005] In view of the H caused by the surface coating modification of the negative electrode active material of the existing secondary zinc-air battery 2 O and OH - The diffusion of zinc is hindered, the charging capacity of the zinc negative maximum current is low, the structural strength of the coating layer is not enough, it is easy to break and collapse, and the cycle life is insufficient. The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a method that can effectively While limiting the diffusion of discharge products and the electrical agglomeration of active particles, it can ensure that the electrolyte can quickly pass through the surface coating layer to reach the reaction interface, improve the high-current charging capacity of the surface-coated zinc oxide, and prevent the growth and deformation of particle dendrites, and Zn / The cladding layer is broken and collapsed due to the volume expansion caused by the ZnO crystal transformation, and the zinc oxide anode material that prolongs the cycle life of zinc-air batteries

Abstract

The invention relates to a zinc oxide negative electrode material of a zinc air cell and a preparation method thereof. The zinc oxide negative electrode material comprises a double-coating-layer structure, the double-coating-layer structure is that an inner coating layer is further evenly distributed between zinc oxide and an outer coating layer, the inner coating layer is a polymer coating layer, polymer used in the polymer coating layer is chosen from one of strong-base-resistant polyacrylic acid polymer, polymethylacrylic acid or acrylic acid polymer and methacrylic acid polymer, and the outer coating layer is an indium hydroxide and / or stannic oxide layer. According to the preparation method of the zinc oxide negative electrode material, a silane coupling agent is utilized to perform surface modification on the surface of zinc oxide, and then hexamine deposition metal oxide and / or hydroxide is utilized to achieve even coating of the outer coating layer. The zinc oxide negative electrode material disclosed by the invention effectively solves the problem of dendritic growth and deformation and the problem that the coating layers are prone to breaking and collapsing due to volume expansion generated by Zn / ZnO crystal transfer; thus, a finished product which has excellent rate capability and long cycle life can be obtained.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a zinc oxide negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a zinc oxide negative electrode material for alkaline zinc-air secondary batteries, belonging to the field of air batteries. Background technique [0002] Metal-air batteries have the advantages of large capacity and high energy density. Among them, the water-based zinc-air battery is considered to be one of the most promising secondary metal-air batteries because of its simple battery structure, high energy density, easy storage, low cost, safety, and environmental protection and pollution-free advantages. However, due to the high solubility of zinc oxide as the negative electrode product, the negative electrode of zinc-air battery is prone to deformation and dendrite growth during charging, which causes its discharge capacity to decay rapidly, and the battery cycle life is short, and commercial applications are greatly restricted. [0003] I...
