preparation example Construction

[0056] The preparation method of the copper-plated / nickel sponge layer comprises the following steps:

[0057] A1. Cut the sponge film into small pieces, and dry them completely after ultrasonic cleaning;

[0058] A2. Stick the dried sponge film on the rubber film, and then solidify to obtain a bonded sponge-rubber film;

[0059] A3. Put the bonded sponge-rubber film in SnCl 2 Vacuum immersion in hydrochloric acid solution for 10-60min, take out and then immerse in PdCl 2 Vacuum immersion in hydrochloric acid solution for 10-60min, take out, freeze-dry to obtain surface-activated sponge-rubber film;

[0060] A4. Soak the surface-activated sponge-rubber film in an electroless copper plating solution or a nickel plating solution to deposit metallic copper or nickel on the surface to form a copper plating or nickel plating layer to obtain a copper / nickel sponge layer.

[0061] In step A1, the sponge film is a polyurethane sponge film with a thickness of 0.1-1mm;

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of intelligent energy storage devices, in particular to a flexible and stretchable zinc-air battery based on foam metal electrodes and its preparation. The present invention prepares zinc anode and air cathode with a three-dimensional structure by electroplating zinc and electroplating nickel respectively on the metal foam or polymer foam substrate, cross-links the electrodes with a polymer electrolyte membrane and separates the cathode and anode, and then seals the edges to obtain Flexible zinc-air battery with sandwich structure. A flexible and stretchable zinc-air battery is obtained by cutting the flexible zinc-air battery into a specific stretchable shape. The flexible and stretchable zinc-air battery can not only be charged and discharged, but also has good bendable, curled, twisted and stretchable properties, and keeps stable charge and discharge performance after deformation, which has good applications in the field of wearable devices prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent energy storage devices, in particular to a flexible and stretchable zinc-air battery based on a sponge-based metal electrode and its preparation. Background technique [0002] This year, flexible and stretchable electronic devices have received extensive attention and can be applied to high-tech fields such as smart wearables, robots, and artificial organs, and are considered to be one of the most promising research directions. Flexible and stretchable energy storage devices such as supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and alkaline batteries have been developed. Zinc-air batteries have high energy density (1086Wh kg –1 ), low cost, safety, environmental protection and other advantages have been widely concerned. At present, some scientific research work on the preparation of flexible zinc-air batteries has made some progress, and flexible zinc-air batteries are p...
