Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a patterned ultra-light flexible self-supporting zinc electrode and its application. The invention has the advantages of environmental friendliness, customizable patterns, no need to add conductive agents and binders, ultra-light and ultra-thin, self-supporting and The advantages of excellent mechanical properties. Compared with the existing flexible zinc-ion battery negative electrode, the flexible electrode obtained in the present invention is composed of a single-layer zinc grid that can be customized and patterned. The current collector and active material are both zinc metal, and the porous gap of the electrode can effectively inhibit charge and discharge. The volume expansion and dendrite growth caused by zinc deposition during the process are also conducive to the penetration of the electrolyte. The prepared flexible electrode can withstand repeated bending without breaking, and the electrochemical performance remains basically unchanged. It can be directly cut for battery assembly, which is convenient for the shape design and assembly of zinc-ion batteries.

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...
