Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are many polarization phenomena in air electrodes. The catalyst and oxygen cannot form a good three-phase reaction interface in the cathode catalyst structure, which is not conducive to the diffusion and transfer of reaction products, resulting in the deposition of reaction products and hindering the diffusion of oxygen in the catalyst. At the same time, due to the poor conductivity of the reaction product, the electrochemical polarization of the air battery is increased, and the high charging voltage will decompose the organic electrolyte in the battery system and cause the air battery to fail to work normally.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air batteries, and in particular relates to a preparation method of an air electrode. Background technique [0002] The air electrode is a gas diffusion electrode, one side of which is in contact with the electrolyte and the other side is in contact with oxygen in the air, forming a three-phase stable state on the surface of the catalyst. During the discharge process of the battery, the air electrode is used as the cathode, oxygen diffuses along the electrode surface into the interior of the electrode, and a reduction reaction occurs under the action of the catalyst. The performance of the air electrode is not only related to the catalyst, but also related to the structure of the air electrode. The air electrode is required to have high porosity, uniform pore distribution, good air permeability, and good anti-permeation ability.
