Problems solved by technology

Such a simple structure will lead to large internal resistance of the air electrode, the oxygen transmission rate and adsorption rate cannot be guaranteed, and the electrode cannot perform as it should.
More importantly, the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface in the air electrode is unstable, and the balance is easily broken. The liquid gradually penetrates and submerges the solid phase area, and the reaction site is greatly reduced. Eventually, the liquid penetrates the entire electrode and the electrode is scrapped.
A series of problems caused by this make the metal-air battery unable to work stably for a long time, and the fuel replacement mode cannot be truly realized.

Abstract

The invention relates to an air electrode and a manufacturing method thereof. The air electrode comprises a current collector; a ventilating protection layer is arranged at the lower end of the current collector; and a hydrophobic layer, a reaction layer and a catalysis layer are arranged at the upper end of the current collector from the bottom up in sequence. According to the air electrode disclosed in the invention, the formed A surface is high in hydrophily and weak in hydrophobicity, and a liquid can permeate into the air electrode through the hole channels in the medium to form B surfacepermeation in a fingering manner; along with prolonging of the permeation distance, the medium hydrophobicity is gradually improved, and the holes are smaller and smaller; as a result, the permeationflow resistance is improved, and liquid permeation speed is lower and lower, and finally, the liquid stops permeation in a certain position in the middle of the A and B surfaces to form a stable air,liquid and solid three-phase interface; and by virtue of the interface, a large number of occasions can be provided for the positive electrode reaction, submerging of the electrode by the liquid canbe prevented, and finally, the air electrode can satisfy the standards of high performance and long service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air electrode, in particular to an air electrode and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The air electrode is the positive electrode of the metal-air battery, providing a reaction site for oxygen while maintaining a gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface. The existing air electrode structure is relatively simple, and usually only has a single-layer structure, which is just to combine a layer of membrane and a current-collecting net, or to press a mixed material and a current-collecting net together. Such a simple structure will lead to large internal resistance of the air electrode, the oxygen transmission rate and adsorption rate cannot be guaranteed, and the electrode cannot perform as it should. More importantly, the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface in the air electrode is unstable, and the balance is easily broken. The liquid gradually penetrates and submerges the solid phase area, and th...
