Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a high-voltage aqueous battery with a tri-functional metal diaphragm, belonging to the technical field of secondary batteries. Background Art
[0002] Due to the current energy crisis and environmental pollution, people are turning their attention to clean and renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and tidal energy. However, these energies are often intermittent and can only be utilized if stored. Therefore, the development of energy storage technology is imperative. Electrochemical energy storage technologies, represented by lithium-ion batteries, have attracted widespread attention due to their high energy density, mature technology, and environmental friendliness. However, lithium-ion batteries use organic electrolytes, which are prone to ignition and pose certain safety risks, making them unsuitable for large-scale power storage systems.
[0003] Aqueous batteries, which use aqueous solutions as their electrolyte, are considered the most suitable for large-scale power storage systems due to their high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Despite their numerous advantages, aqueous batteries also face the challenge of low voltage. This is due to the narrow electrochemical window of water, which is only 1.23V. This severely limits the output voltage of aqueous batteries, resulting in a voltage generally below 2V, compared to the 3-4V voltage of lithium batteries. This low voltage restricts their large-scale application.
[0004] Currently, there are two main methods for increasing the voltage of aqueous batteries. One is to use high-concentration salt to reduce the electrochemical activity of water, which can successfully widen the electrochemical window of water to 3V (Suo, L.; Borodin, O.; Gao, T.; Olguin, M.; Ho, J.; Fan, X.; Luo, C.; Wang, C.; Xu, K., "Water-in-salt" electrolyte enables high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion chemistries. Science 2015, 350(6263), 938-43.). However, this method faces the problems of high cost, limited salt options, and few salts with a solubility in water exceeding 20 mol / L. Therefore, this method is not suitable for large-scale production and application. Another way is to use an acid-base mixed electrolyte and separate the acid and base electrolytes with a bipolar membrane. Since the oxygen evolution potential is higher under acidic conditions and the hydrogen evolution potential is relatively low under alkaline conditions, the electrochemical window is widened. However, this method faces the problem of mutual penetration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, which makes it impossible to maintain the pH difference on both sides and the battery cycle stability is poor. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a high-voltage aqueous battery with a tri-functional metal separator, comprising: a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a metal separator, a positive electrode electrolyte, and a negative electrode electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode and the negative electrode are separated by the metal separator and are respectively in mutually independent positive electrode electrolyte and negative electrode electrolyte; in the positive electrode electrolyte, the potential of the positive electrode is greater than the potential of the metal separator; in the negative electrode electrolyte, the potential of the metal separator is greater than the potential of the negative electrode.
[0006] Since the oxygen evolution potential is higher in acidic electrolytes, the redox couple with higher electrode potential can be applied, and the hydrogen evolution potential is lower in alkaline electrolytes, the redox couple with lower electrode potential can be applied. Therefore, if the acidic electrolyte is combined with the alkaline electrolyte, the positive electrode is allowed to undergo electrochemical reaction in the acidic electrolyte, and the negative electrode is allowed to undergo electrochemical reaction in the alkaline electrolyte, the voltage of the battery will be improved. Currently, ion exchange membranes are commonly used to separate the two positive and negative electrolytes, but in this way, the two electrolytes still have a small number of hydrogen ions and hydroxides to penetrate each other, which causes the electrolyte pH to continuously change as the number of cycles increases, limiting the cycle stability of the battery. The inventors first used a metal diaphragm to separate the two electrolytes, so that the ion exchange of the two electrolytes is thoroughly blocked, and the cycle stability of the battery is improved.
[0007] The principle is as follows: During the charging process, under the action of the electric field, the free electrons in the metal diaphragm will gather from the negative electrode electrolyte side to the positive electrode electrolyte side, causing the metal diaphragm potential on the positive electrode side to continuously decrease compared to the positive electrode electrolyte, and the metal diaphragm potential on the negative electrode side to continuously increase compared to the negative electrode electrolyte. This causes the metal diaphragm on the positive electrode side to undergo a reduction reaction and the metal diaphragm on the negative electrode side to undergo an oxidation reaction. The discharge process is the opposite of the above-mentioned charging process. Therefore, the metal diaphragm has three functions: it can form a first battery with the negative electrode, a second battery with the positive electrode, and separate the two reacting electrolytes. The metal diaphragm potential has the following relationship with the positive and negative electrode potentials: in the negative electrode electrolyte, the negative electrode potential is less than the metal diaphragm potential; in the positive electrode electrolyte, the metal diaphragm potential is less than the positive electrode potential. Moreover, the inventors also found that "battery voltage = (positive electrode potential - negative electrode potential) + (metal diaphragm potential in negative electrode electrolyte - metal diaphragm potential in positive electrode electrolyte)", therefore, when the potential of the metal diaphragm in the negative electrode electrolyte is greater than the potential in the positive electrode electrolyte, the battery voltage can be further increased.
[0008] Preferably, the metal diaphragm is a dense metal electrode and can be a single metal such as copper, silver, lead, iron, nickel, etc.
[0009] Preferably, the negative electrode is a metallic zinc or composite zinc electrode, and the composite zinc negative electrode is a negative electrode of zinc powder or a composite of metallic zinc and carbon material.

For example, the voltage of the zinc-manganese battery designed with copper as the metal diaphragm is 1.88V, and it can be stably cycled 3,500 times. The cycle stability is better than that of the zinc-manganese battery using a bipolar membrane.

[0031] The present invention is further described below through the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.
[0032] In the present disclosure, an aqueous high-voltage battery with a trifunctional metal diaphragm is proposed, which has a higher voltage than conventional aqueous batteries and has a certain universality. The high-voltage aqueous battery with a trifunctional metal diaphragm includes: a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a negative electrode electrolyte, a positive electrode electrolyte, and a dense metal single substance diaphragm with good conductivity that can undergo reversible redox reactions in both the negative electrode electrolyte and the positive electrode electrolyte (to avoid ion exchange and mixing between the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte). The metal diaphragm includes but is not limited to metals such as copper, silver, lead, nickel, and iron. If an alloy material containing the above metals is selected, the metal diaphragm is easily corroded and penetrated due to the uncertainty of metal deposition during multiple charge and discharge reactions, resulting in a multi-pitted surface. The thickness of the metal diaphragm is at least 0.1 mm. Its thickness can be 0.5 to 4 times the thickness of the positive electrode.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the structure of the aqueous battery includes: a negative electrode sheet made of a negative electrode located on one side of the first reaction chamber; a first reaction chamber for accommodating a negative electrode electrolyte; a second reaction chamber for accommodating a positive electrode electrolyte; a metal diaphragm located between the first reaction chamber and the second reaction chamber and used to separate the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode liquid; a positive electrode sheet made of a positive electrode located on one side of the second reaction chamber; and a gasket that acts as a seal.
[0034] Among them, the negative electrode has a lower electrode potential. In the negative electrode electrolyte, the potential of the negative electrode is lower than that of the metal diaphragm, and the negative electrode and the metal diaphragm constitute the electrode material of the first battery.
[0035] The positive electrode has a higher electrode potential. In the positive electrolyte, the positive electrode's potential is higher than that of the metal separator, allowing it to form the electrode material of the second cell together with the metal separator. Furthermore, the metal separator's electrode potential in the positive electrolyte is preferably lower than that in the negative electrolyte, further increasing the battery voltage.
[0036] Among them, the negative electrode electrolyte can be an electrolyte that provides the ions required for the electrochemical reaction between the negative electrode and the metal separator, such as a neutral or alkaline electrolyte with a pH ≥ 7. Calculations based on the Nernst equation show that the concentration of the negative electrode electrolyte has little effect on the battery voltage.
[0037] Among them, the positive electrode electrolyte can be an electrolyte that provides ions required for the electrochemical reaction between the positive electrode and the metal separator, such as a neutral or acidic electrolyte (pH≤7). Calculations based on the Nernst equation show that the concentration of the positive electrode electrolyte has little effect on the battery voltage.
[0038] Among them, in addition to forming a "first battery" with the negative electrode and a "second battery" with the positive electrode, the metal separator can also play the role of separating two mutually reacting electrolytes.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the positive electrode includes, but is not limited to, bromine, iodine, cerium sulfate, manganese dioxide, carbon materials, lead dioxide, and other active materials with a relatively high electrode potential in the positive electrode electrolyte (neutral or acidic electrolyte (pH ≤ 7)). The negative electrode may be metallic zinc, a composite zinc electrode, or other materials with a relatively low electrode potential in an alkaline or neutral electrolyte (pH ≥ 7).
