Problems solved by technology

However, its catalytic activity is too low, and the discharge current density per unit area is too small, which cannot meet the requirements of the working current of commonly used large-power electronic appliances.
[0006] 3. Although the initial catalytic activity of the metal oxide electrocatalyst with the spinel crystal structure is high, its chemical stability is not very good. After the battery is stored for a period of time, the degree of polarization of the discharge increases significantly, and the working life is short

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal composite oxide with a perovskite crystal structure used as an electrocatalyst for a zinc-air battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of chemical power sources. 2. Background technology [0002] A zinc-air battery uses oxygen in the air as the positive electrode active material and metal zinc as the negative electrode active material. Under the catalysis of the electrocatalyst, oxygen and zinc react to release electric energy. Because air does not account for the volume and weight of the battery, the battery has a high specific energy (3-4 times that of the same type of alkaline zinc-manganese battery, 7-8 times that of the same type of zinc-manganese dry battery), and the maximum energy Maximizing the use of zinc resources is in line with the requirements of my country's sustainable development strategy. Zinc-air batteries have the characteristics of large capaci...
