Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, most reports use constant current deposition of zinc and carbon nanotube films as flexible electrodes, or the existing technology of directly casting foam structure zinc by using abrasive tools does not fundamentally solve the problems caused by dendrite growth. It has the problem of forming zinc dendrites during the charge-discharge cycle, which leads to short circuit, zinc stripping and deactivation, which greatly reduces the cycle life and stability of the electrode and battery; In the process, non-reactive substances (such as zinc oxide) are formed or dendrites are exfoliated and deactivated, which reduces the actual working specific surface area of ​​the electrode, and the electrode density will naturally increase, resulting in polarization, thus making the cycle stable. In addition, the zinc composite electrode in the prior art cannot realize a stable cycle at a high depth of discharge (> 40% DOD), and will be damaged rapidly under a deep discharge situation (80% DOD); no Composite substrates (such as pure zinc flakes) cannot achieve 100% DOD charge and discharge; in addition, due to the low cost of zinc metal itself, the existing zinc anode technology is used in a consumable manner, and long-term normal operation can be maintained by supplementing and replacing new zinc anodes The way of circular operation causes a lot of waste, which runs counter to the development trend of low energy consumption in society

preparation example Construction

[0068] 1) Preparation of carbon nanotube foam: please refer to figure 1 , place the carbon nanotube film produced by FCVD method in a CVD tube furnace, and pass inert gas such as Ar gas as protective gas and carrier gas, and make the temperature in the reaction chamber follow the rate of 5-10°C / min Raise to 1100~1300°C, then pass Ar, H 2 (Ar:H 2 =0.5~2:1), C 2 h 4 The mixed gas is used for secondary deposition, and the flow rate of the carbon source is controlled to be 40-80 sccm. After 5-40 minutes, the carbon nanotube foam can be obtained by cooling with the furnace, in which H 2 As a carrier gas, it also has the effect of etching amorphous carbon;

[0069] 2) Configure 1M H 2 SO 4 Solution: Weigh 40g of concentrated sulfuric acid (mass fraction is 98.3%), slowly pour into 200mL of water, stir to dissolve; the concentrated sulfuric acid is diluted and exothermic, after the solution is cooled to room temperature, add water to a total volume of 400mL and then use it;
