Problems solved by technology

However, the introduction of various composite additives may complicate the electrochemical reactions in the electrolyte
Specifically, after the battery is discharged for a long time, the battery gradually fails due to the gradual saturation of soluble aluminum salts and the precipitation of aluminum hydroxide.
Composite additives and a composite film detached from the interface may accelerate the gelation of the electrolyte, thereby accelerating battery failure

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel batteries, and particularly discloses a high-concentration salt alkaline electrolyte which comprises high-concentration sodium potassium salt and an alkaline solution. The invention further discloses application of the electrolyte in preparation of an aluminum-air fuel battery. The invention also provides the alkaline electrolyte and an aluminum-air battery containing the alkaline electrolyte. The high-concentration sodium potassium salt provided by the invention can effectively inhibit anode self-corrosion by inhibiting the activity of water molecules and increasing the activation energy of hydrogen evolution reaction, so that the self-discharge of the battery can be greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the discharge product of the battery can be removed in time and recycled under a cyclic condition. When the high-concentration salt alkaline electrolyte is added to the aluminum-air battery, the corrosion inhibition efficiency can reach 93.55% at most, the specific capacity can reach 2412mAh / g, and the energy density can reach 426Wh / kg or above. Under the same condition, compared with the traditional electrolyte, the electrolyte has the advantage that the service life of the battery is nearly 5 times of the original service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-concentration saline-alkali solution, an aluminum-air battery electrolyte, a preparation method thereof, and an aluminum-air battery, belonging to the field of aluminum-air batteries. Background technique [0002] With the development of modern society, people put forward higher requirements for the energy density, safety and sustainability of energy storage devices. Due to the high theoretical energy density of metal-air batteries (aluminum, zinc, magnesium, etc.), they have attracted more and more attention. Among all kinds of metal-air batteries, the theoretical specific capacity of aluminum-air batteries (2.98Ahg -1 ) is much larger than the theoretical specific capacity of the zinc-air battery (0.82Ahg -1 ) and the theoretical specific capacity (2.20Ahg-1) of the magnesium-air battery. Alkaline aluminum-air batteries usually consist of an aluminum metal anode, an air cathode, and an alkaline electrolyte (KOH or N...
