Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a zinc-tellurium-based aqueous secondary battery. According to the aqueous secondary battery, a positive electrode contains tellurium; a negative electrode contains zinc; and a water system electrolyte and a diaphragm are arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The aqueous secondary battery is mainly based on an energy storage mechanism of a redox reaction of compounds (tellurium dioxide or tellurous acid) of elementary tellurium and tetravalent tellurium in the aqueous electrolyte at the positive electrode and a dissolution (oxidation)/deposition (reduction) reaction of zinc ions at the negative electrode, so that the aqueous zinc-tellurium secondary battery has the advantages of high capacity, long cycle life, safety, environment-friendliness and the like, and can be widely applied to the important fields of consumer electronic equipment, intelligent devices, electric vehicles, communication, aerospace, scale energy storage and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of secondary batteries, in particular to a zinc-tellurium-based aqueous secondary battery. Background technique [0002] The increasingly severe energy and environmental situation has brought great challenges to human survival. Accelerating the cultivation and development of new energy industries is not only an urgent task to effectively alleviate energy and environmental pressures and promote sustainable development, but also to accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading and cultivate new energy industries. Strategic initiatives for economic growth and international competitive advantage. Lithium-ion batteries have basically monopolized the market share of consumer electronics batteries, and are also marching towards more valuable electric vehicles. But unfortunately, due to the limitations of its own electrochemical mechanism and materials used, lithium-ion batteries are flammable and explosive, making them...
