Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a patterned ultra-flexible self-supporting zinc electrode. The patterned ultra-flexible self-supporting zinc electrode has the advantages of being environment friendly, being capable of customizing patterns, not needing a conductive agent and a binder, being ultra-light, ultra-thin, being capable of achieving self-supporting and beingexcellent in mechanical property. Compared with an existing flexible zinc ion battery negative electrode, the obtained flexible electrode is composed of a customizable patterned single-layer zinc grid, a current collector and an active material are both zinc metal, and the pore-shaped gap of the electrode can effectively inhibit the volume expansion and dendritic crystal growth caused by zinc deposition in the charging and discharging process, and the permeation of an electrolyte is also facilitated. The prepared flexible electrode can bear the repeated bending without breakage, the electrochemical performance of the prepared flexible electrode is basically kept unchanged, the prepared flexible electrode can be directly cut and used for assembling a battery, and the appearance design andassembly of a zinc ion battery are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrode preparation, in particular to an electrode preparation method and its application. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of wearable electronic technology, higher requirements are placed on the thinness, flexibility, biosafety and cycle life of energy supply devices. Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries have the advantages of low cost, high operational safety, and environmental friendliness, and have obvious potential in the application of wearable devices. Due to its high theoretical capacity, relatively low redox potential, low cost, and good electrochemical stability in water, zinc metal is an ideal anode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. [0003] At present, zinc anodes mostly use current collectors and active material heterogeneous structures. First, the current collectors are manufactured by photolithography, selective melting, etc. The materials are mostly carbon-based material...
