Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible zinc-air battery based on a polymer electrolyte. The flexible zinc-air battery uses polyvinyl alcohol or polyacrylic acid as a polymer skeleton of a semi-solid electrolyte, uses polyethylene glycol as a pore-forming agent to make the polymer matrix appear in a pore-shaped structure, introduces nano silica into the whole system as a crosslinking agent, a water retaining agent and a plasticizer, and immerses the prepared polymer system in a high concentration potassium hydroxide aqueous solution for a certain period of time to obtain a porous nano silica composite polymer electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte has the characteristics such as high ionic conductivity, high water retention property and excellent flexibility, and the assembled zinc-air battery has the comparative advantages of long cycle stability, high power and energy density and good flexibility by placing the prepared polymer electrolyte between the zinc sheet electrode and the catalyst-coated carbon cloth electrode, which provides theoretical basis and technical support for the practical application of flexible zinc-air batteries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible energy devices, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a polymer electrolyte-based flexible zinc-air battery. Background technique [0002] Flexible and portable electronic devices can meet some special requirements due to their light weight, ultra-thin, small size, bendable, stretchable, wearable, foldable, twistable, rollable, and even weavable. Demand has become a development trend in the current electronic age. In order to adapt to the development of flexible and portable electronic devices, it is necessary to develop flexible and portable energy storage devices that provide energy for them. Among them, the zinc-air battery is an important metal-air battery with a theoretical specific energy density of 1086Wh kg -1 , about 3-5 times higher than current lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, metal zinc is low in cost, non-toxic, non-flammable, and has good environmental friendliness...
