Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of zinc negative electrode conductive electric field shielding layer materials, and in particular to a zinc negative electrode conductive electric field shielding layer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The transformation of clean and renewable energy technologies is currently a hot topic for researchers in the field of new energy around the world. Developing advanced electrochemical energy storage devices is one of the important ways to solve environmental and energy problems. Although lithium batteries have attracted much attention due to their wide application in the market, their high cost, dependence on rare metal resources, and potential safety hazards such as flammability and explosiveness have limited their further application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop low-cost, high-safety new energy storage technologies to replace or supplement the existing system and promote the innovation and development of energy storage technologies.

[0003] Zinc-based batteries have the characteristics of high theoretical capacity, abundant resources, and environmental friendliness, and have great potential in the storage of intermittent renewable energy. In recent years, more and more researchers have devoted themselves to the development of zinc-based batteries with superior performance. Among various types of zinc-based batteries, alkaline zinc-based batteries show superior performance such as large theoretical capacity and high specific energy. However, in alkaline batteries, the passivation, side reaction, and dendrite problems of zinc anode are more severe than those in neutral acid systems. Among them, the passivation problem of zinc anode leads to low zinc anode utilization, which greatly reduces the energy density of alkaline zinc-based batteries, and the passivated zinc anode surface has a serious negative impact on the cycle reversibility, limiting the widespread application of alkaline zinc-based batteries. However, compared with the progress made in zinc deposition process, there is still a lack of discussion and insights on the mitigation of passivation during zinc dissolution. Although research has been conducted on the manufacture of zinc oxide anodes with zinc metal and complex three-dimensional structures, the increase in electrode volume and large surface area exacerbate passivation, while additional conductive agents lead to the loss of active materials. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a high-utilization, uniformly stripped zinc anode that can solve the passivation problem in alkaline electrolyte.

[0004] CN115548282A discloses an alkaline secondary battery negative electrode material and its preparation method and application. The zinc negative electrode material is a ZnO / ZnS / C composite material or a metal-doped ZnO / ZnS / C composite material. The novel alkaline secondary battery negative electrode material can effectively reduce the deformation of the zinc negative electrode, inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and passivation of zinc dendrites, improve the stability of the zinc negative electrode in alkaline solution, and increase the cycle life of the alkaline secondary battery. However, the preparation method is complicated, the process requires precision, and the fundamental problem of passivation of the zinc negative electrode in the alkaline system is not solved.

[0005] CN106887581A discloses a zinc electrode material and its preparation and application. The electrode material is a micro-nano particle with a core-shell structure. It uses zinc as a core and a second metal (an alloy of one or more of iron, tin, lead, copper, silver, platinum, gold, indium, bismuth, thallium, gallium, and cadmium) as a shell. The second metal shell is wrapped around the outside of the zinc core, and there is a gap between the zinc core and the second metal shell. The zinc electrode material suppresses hydrogen evolution by controlling the dissolution of zinc oxide in the electrolyte, which effectively improves the cycle stability of the battery. However, its reaction conditions are strict, the process is complicated, and the inhibitory effect on the passivation of the zinc negative electrode surface is not good.

[0006] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an alkaline zinc-based battery negative electrode with a simple and feasible preparation method that can effectively inhibit the passivation of the zinc negative electrode surface. Summary of the invention

Figure 2 It can be seen that the coating, i.e. the conductive electric field shielding layer, forms a three-dimensional interwoven network structure of bismuth dendrites. This three-dimensional woven layer can act as a Faraday cage array, effectively shielding the zinc negative electrode surface from the influence of local electric field effects.

[0078] The discharge curves of the symmetrical batteries assembled in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 in 1 mol / L potassium hydroxide electrolyte are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3It can be seen that, thanks to the unique Faraday cage structure of the zinc negative electrode conductive electric field shielding layer prepared in Example 1, the negative influence of the electric field at the interface on the peeling can be shielded, and the passivation rate is greatly reduced. This enables the symmetrical battery assembled with the zinc negative electrode conductive electric field shielding layer prepared in Example 1 to obtain a utilization rate of 95.76%, which is much greater than the utilization rate of 0.33% of the symmetrical battery assembled with the pure zinc sheet prepared in Comparative Example 1.

Thanks to the excellent performance provided by the conductive electric field shielding layer in Example 1, the cycle life and stability of the full battery (i.e., the zinc-air battery prepared in Example 3) are also greatly improved, achieving a capacity of 0.5 mAh·cm in a lean electrolyte (40 μL). -2 Capacity 5mA·cm -2 Long cycle (150 cycles, Figure 4 ).

[0084] In summary, by comparing the data of symmetrical batteries, asymmetric batteries and full batteries, it can be seen that the discharge depth of the zinc negative electrode with a conductive electric field shielding layer constructed in Example 1 of the present invention (i.e., the zinc negative electrode conductive electric field shielding layer prepared in Example 1) is significantly increased, thereby improving the energy density and power density of the battery; in addition, the raw materials used in the preparation process of the alkaline zinc-based battery provided by the embodiment of the present invention are all low-toxic and non-toxic reagents, and the aqueous solution also meets the policy requirements of green environmental protection and low energy consumption.
