Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal seawater fuel cells, and specifically relates to a metal anode material, electrolyte and preparation method for metal seawater fuel cells. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of scientific exploration in the deep sea, marine intelligent equipment urgently needs safe and reliable underwater power sources. Metal-seawater fuel cells are a novel type of chemical power source that uses metal materials as the anode and natural seawater as the oxidant and electrolyte. They possess advantages such as high specific energy, good safety, low cost, and the ability to operate at all ocean depths, showing promising application prospects.
[0003] Metallic aluminum, as an anode material for metal-seawater fuel cells, possesses outstanding advantages such as high specific capacity and negative electrode potential. Furthermore, aluminum resources are abundant and relatively inexpensive. However, aluminum suffers from severe self-corrosion in natural seawater, leading to low utilization rates. Simultaneously, the dense oxide film on the aluminum surface causes severe discharge polarization, significantly reducing the battery discharge voltage, especially under low-temperature conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to apply to metal-seawater fuel cells operating at full ocean depth.
[0004] Researchers in this field primarily address these issues through alloying and the addition of electrolyte corrosion inhibitors. Commonly used alloying elements include Mg, Sn, Ga, Mn, Bi, In, Hg, and Pb, forming binary or multi-element alloys with aluminum. Electrolyte corrosion inhibitors mainly consist of combinations of organic and inorganic inhibitors, used to reduce the self-corrosion rate of metal anodes. However, high-performance metal anodes and electrolytes suitable for full-ocean-depth temperature and pressure variations, especially in low-temperature environments and under different operating conditions, remain a gap. Therefore, developing a metal anode material and electrolyte suitable for full-ocean-depth metal seawater fuel cells is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The first objective of this invention is to provide a metal anode material for full-ocean-depth metal seawater fuel cells. This metal anode material contains the alloying elements Mg, Sn, B, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Dy, Sm, Ti, and Ca, with the balance being Al. The specific contents are as follows:
[0006] The addition range of Mg is 0.1%-5%;
[0007] The addition range of Sn is 0.001%-0.05%;
[0008] The addition range for B is 0.01%-1%;
[0009] The addition range of La is 0.001-0.05%;
[0010] The addition range of Ce is 0.001-0.05%;
[0011] The addition range of Pr is 0.001-0.05%;
[0012] The addition range of Nd is 0.001-0.05%;
[0013] The addition range of Dy is 0.001-0.05%;
[0014] The addition range of Sm is 0.001-0.05%;
[0015] The addition range of Ti is 0.0-0.05%;
[0016] The addition range of Ca is 0.0-0.05%.
[0017] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing metal anode materials. Specifically, 99.99%-99.999% high-purity aluminum is placed in a graphite crucible and heated to 720-800℃ to melt. Pre-prepared alloying elements (except for magnesium, which is added in elemental form, and other alloying elements added as intermediate alloys) are added to the molten aluminum, stirred evenly, and then cast into a mold. Before rolling, the ingot is homogenized at 400-600℃ for 5-10 hours, air-cooled, and then hot-rolled at 350-450℃ to 5-10 mm, followed by cold rolling to 0.5-2 mm, yielding anode plates for metal seawater fuel cells. This preparation method is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for large-scale mass production.
[0018] A third objective of this invention is to provide an electrolyte for a metal-seawater fuel cell. This electrolyte comprises natural seawater, sodium stannate, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, sodium carbonate, and cerium chloride, with the pH adjusted to between 12 and 14. Specific concentrations are as follows:
[0019] The concentration range for sodium stannate is 0.01-1M;
[0020] The concentration range for zinc oxide addition is 0.001-0.1M;
[0021] The concentration range for zinc sulfate addition is 0.001-0.1M;
[0022] The concentration range for sodium carbonate addition is 0.001-0.5M;
[0023] The concentration range for adding cerium chloride is 0.05-2M.
[0024] This electrolyte is suitable for working conditions at all ocean depths, is environmentally friendly, low in cost, and has excellent corrosion inhibition effects.
[0025] The metal anode of the present invention exhibits a low open-circuit hydrogen evolution corrosion rate in the provided electrolyte, below 0.0005 mL / cm. 2The system can achieve a current density of 0.1-10 mA / cm², simultaneously inducing product formation and enhancing electrochemical performance. The anode electrode potential is ≤-1.8V vs. SCE, and the utilization rate can reach over 75%. 2 It maintains good performance under varying temperature (0℃-30℃) and pressure (0.1-110MPa) conditions across the entire ocean depth range, significantly improving the specific energy of the metal seawater fuel cell and providing technical support for the development of long-endurance, high-capacity underwater power sources.
[0026] The metal anode of this invention can significantly reduce the hydrogen evolution corrosion rate in the above-mentioned electrolyte, and can also directionally induce product formation, thereby improving electrochemical performance. The preparation method of this metal anode and electrolyte is simple and applicable to different temperatures (0-30℃), pressure variations (0.1-110MPa), and operating current densities (0.1-10mA / cm²). 2 This technology can be applied to metal-seawater fuel cells under various operating conditions at all ocean depths.
