Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, this battery also has its inherent problems: during the charging and discharging process of the battery, zinc ions are repeatedly dissolved and deposited on the surface of the metal zinc negative electrode, and dendritic deposits are easily formed under the action of the "tip effect".
However, the spongy zinc anode in this study requires multiple processing steps such as pressing, first annealing, then thermal oxidation, and finally electrochemical reduction, which requires long preparation time and high cost.
Invention patent CN 104518205 A discloses a method for preparing a zinc negative electrode. The metal zinc is pretreated with a strong oxidizing solution to modify its surface. This process is mainly used to overcome the problem of hydrogen evolution and self-corrosion of the zinc negative electrode, and the cycle life of the battery remains the same. less than 20 times
This problem is the core problem that has restricted the development of long-life secondary zinc batteries for a long time

[0043] Weigh 0.180 g of nano-alumina (Al 2 o 3 , 100 nm) and 0.030 g PVDF binder, mix them in a mortar and mix evenly, then pour into a weighing bottle, add NMP solvent, and stir magnetically for 4 h at room temperature. After the slurry is evenly stirred, select A film applicator with a suitable thickness is used to uniformly coat a porous coating with a thickness of 230-300 microns on the surface of the filter paper, and dry it in vacuum at 60 °C for 12 hours. Porous Al 2 o 3 The coated filter paper is the diaphragm, Φ = The 16 mm pre-cleaned zinc foil was used as the positive and negative electrodes, and a symmetrical battery was assembled to test the relevant electrochemical performance. The electrolyte uses 3 M ZnSO 4 + 0.1 M MnSO 4 solution, the battery separator is made of non-woven fabric. Compared with uncoated symmetric cells, the coating can increase the stability time of symmetric cells from 56 hours to 410 hours.

Embodiment 3

[0045] Weigh 0.010 g micron calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 , 2000 nm) and 0.080 g PVDF binder, mix them in a mortar and mix evenly, then pour into a weighing bottle, add NMP solvent, stir magnetically at room temperature for 2 h, after the slurry is evenly stirred, select Apply a film applicator with a suitable thickness, evenly coat a porous coating with a thickness of 230-300 microns on the surface of the pre-cleaned zinc foil, and dry it in vacuum at 60°C for 12 hours. Dry porous CaCO 3 Coated zinc foil cut into Φ = 16 mm discs, and then assembled symmetrical cells to test related electrochemical performances. The electrolyte uses 1.5 M ZnSO 4 Solution, battery separator using filter paper. The coating can increase the stability time of symmetric cells from 45 hours to 367 hours relative to uncoated symmetric cells.
