Abstract

The invention discloses a material for inhibiting zinc dendrite and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the material is a composite material of a zinc-based material and a carbon elementary material, the zinc-based material is in the form of a powder or a plate or a sheet, and the carbon elementary material is coated on the surface of the zinc-based material powder particles or attached to the surface of the zinc-based material plate or sheet. The invention modifies the metal zinc elemental material to coat the surface of the zinc plate with a carbon layer or coat the carbonlayer around the zinc powder particles, so that the obtained composite material may effectively inhibit the growth of zinc dendrite, and is especially applied to an aqueous zinc-based battery as the negative electrode material to exhibit the performance of suppressing the growth of zinc dendrite.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of aqueous zinc-based batteries, and more specifically relates to a material for inhibiting the growth of zinc dendrites, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Metal zinc (Zn) has low cost, good conductivity, stable properties, safety and non-toxicity, high hydrogen evolution overpotential and high theoretical capacity (819mAh g -1 ) advantages, widely used in aqueous zinc-based battery anode materials. However, during the long-term dissolution-deposition process, the surface morphology of zinc changes, and dendrites are easily formed, piercing the battery separator and causing a short circuit of the battery, thereby reducing the cycle life of the battery. Therefore, developing effective methods and technologies to suppress the growth of zinc dendrites is the key to the practical application of aqueous zinc-based batteries. Currently reported approaches, such as designing 3D zin...
