Abstract

The invention discloses a method for inhibiting growth of zinc dendrites in a zinc battery. The method comprises the following steps: cutting appropriate natural silkworm cocoons into round pieces; placing the round pieces into a beaker, and adding a certain amount of water ethanol for cleaning; after removing impurities, soaking the product in a 4, 4'-diamino-2,2'-dipyridyl ethanol solution in acertain concentration, and carrying out ultrasonic oscillation; then, carrying out drying in a drying oven; and then, putting the product into a tubular furnace, and carrying out firing at 400-700 DEGC for a certain time in an N2 atmosphere to obtain a carbonized fibroin doped material. The obtained carbonized fibroin doped material is used as a zinc electrode surface protective layer material inthe zinc battery, so that the growth of the zinc dendrites is inhibited, and the service life and safety performance of the zinc battery are prolonged; and the material has a wide application prospect. In the whole preparation process, the method is simple to operate, low in raw material cost, low in equipment investment and suitable for batch production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of material chemistry, and in particular relates to a method for inhibiting the growth of zinc dendrites in a zinc battery. Background technique [0002] Zinc metal is rich in resources in the earth's crust, low in the market price, high in use safety factor, and high in theoretical specific capacity (up to 820mAh g -1 ), low electrochemical potential (-0.762V vs SHE), considered to be one of the ideal anode materials for aqueous batteries. However, when zinc metal is used as a battery electrode, it is also easy to oxidize to form a passivation film, and dendrites grow on the surface to puncture the separator and cause a short circuit of the battery, which affects the cycle performance and service life of the aqueous zinc-based battery. [0003] F.Wang et al. reported that a high-concentration lithium salt mixed with an aqueous zinc salt was used as an electrolyte to assemble a full battery, so that the zinc negative...
