Abstract

A method for inhibiting zinc dendritic crystal growth by using a polydopamine film comprises the steps: a zinc foil is soaked in a dopamine solution, and a polydopamine film layer is formed on the surface of zinc by adjusting the concentration of dopamine, the pH value of the solution, the polymerization time and the reaction temperature; the dopamine-modified zinc foil is used as the negative electrode of the secondary battery, and structural characterization after charge-discharge circulation shows that the surface of the electrode is smooth, and no obvious dendritic crystal is generated; and the polydopamine has strong metallophilicity, a stable protective layer is formed on the surface of the zinc foil, and the deposition of zinc is limited in a limited space, so that the growth of zinc dendrites is effectively inhibited, and the cycle life of the zinc negative electrode is prolonged. The method disclosed by the invention is simple in process, easy in reaction condition control, environment-friendly and beneficial to performance optimization and practical application of the zinc negative electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of water-based zinc ion batteries, and in particular relates to a method for inhibiting zinc dendrites through a polydopamine film. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of industries such as new energy vehicles and large-scale energy storage has put forward more stringent requirements on the energy density, power density, cycle life and safety of energy storage systems. Commercial lithium-ion batteries have high output voltage and high energy density, but lithium resources are limited, its cost is high, and the safety of organic electrolytes is poor. Therefore, the exploration of new secondary battery systems has become a research focus. Among them, the aqueous rechargeable Zn-ion battery has the following characteristics: zinc reserves are abundant, and the aqueous electrolyte is highly safe, which is expected to realize low-cost manufacturing and safe use of the battery at the same time; zinc has a lo...
