Problems solved by technology

Alkaline electrolyte usually uses KOH or NaOH, Al(OH) 3 Further dissolution occurs to generate Al 3+ , so the discharge potential and current of the alkaline aluminum-air battery are higher than that of the neutral aluminum-air battery, but the hydrogen evolution corrosion of aluminum in the alkaline electrolyte is serious, resulting in a greatly reduced anode utilization rate and a capacity density of less than 800mAh / g Al , the utilization rate of aluminum negative electrode is only 20%~30%

Abstract

The invention discloses an alkaline aluminum-air battery electrolyte with high specific capacity and high power and a preparation method thereof. The electrolyte comprises the following components: potassium fluoride, potassium permanganate, potassium citrate, polyethylene glycol, zinc oxide, potassium hydroxide and the balance of water. By compounding the electrolytes, the dissolution rate of the aluminum anode plate can be effectively increased, the hydrogen evolution reaction on the surface of the aluminum plate is remarkably inhibited, and the discharge current, the capacity density and the anode utilization rate of the aluminum air battery are remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry, and in particular relates to a high specific capacity, high power alkaline aluminum-air battery electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-air batteries react with aluminum plates and oxygen in the air, and have many advantages such as abundant resources, high theoretical discharge potential, and low cost. During the discharge process, the aluminum plate is oxidized, the oxygen in the air is reduced to generate OH-, and the electrons flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through the external circuit. [0003] Aluminum-air batteries are usually divided into two types: neutral and alkaline. The neutral electrolyte usually uses NaCl solution or seawater, because Al(OH) is easily generated on the surface of the aluminum plate. 3 Precipitation makes the conductivity low and the discharge potential low, so alkaline aluminum-air ba...
