Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lead-carbon batteries, and particularly to a technology for eliminating acid stratification in lead-carbon batteries with rich electrolyte. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries have attracted much attention for their application in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) due to their low cost, high safety, and good low-temperature performance. However, HEVs require lead-acid batteries to operate at a high-rate partial state of charge (HRPSoC), which can significantly shorten battery cycle life due to accelerated negative electrode sulfation. Adding appropriate carbon materials to the negative electrode active material to construct lead-carbon batteries (LCBs) is one effective way to solve the negative electrode sulfation problem.

[0003] Lead-carbon batteries not only possess the same safety, low cost, and stability as traditional lead-acid batteries, but also exhibit long cycle life and high specific power, similar to supercapacitors. Adding porous carbon materials to the negative electrode plate can extend the cycle life under HRPSoC conditions. Carbon additives primarily function as capacitor buffers and conductive networks, thereby improving electrochemical kinetics. However, the introduction of carbon additives also introduces certain problems, such as increasing the hydrogen evolution rate during charging and reducing the contact between the sponge lead active material and the carbon material. Furthermore, the generated hydrogen bubbles cause carbon particles to separate from the electrode active material, leading to the destruction of the negative electrode plate's structural stability. Since lead has a high hydrogen evolution overpotential, combining Pb with carbon materials can effectively suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction. There are reports of using Pb / C composite materials as additives in lead-carbon batteries. Hao Zhang et al. confirmed that the functional groups on the carbon surface affect the electrodeposition of nano-lead and hydrogen evolution. Tong et al. studied the electrochemical properties of activated carbon materials containing divalent lead and their cycle performance in lead-carbon batteries under HRPSoC conditions. Yang Jiakuan et al. pointed out that nanostructured lead oxide formed by the pyrolysis of lead citrate precursor can be directly used as an additive in lead-carbon batteries.

[0004] Lead-carbon batteries can be categorized into two types based on the amount of electrolyte injected: lean-electrode and rich-electrode. Lean-electrode lead-carbon batteries are energy storage devices, using AGM separators, and are suitable for backup power, distributed, and large-scale energy storage applications. Rich-electrode lead-carbon batteries, on the other hand, are power storage devices, generally using PE separators, and are suitable for start-stop vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Like rich-electrode lead-acid batteries, rich-electrode lead-carbon batteries also suffer from acid stratification. Solving the acid stratification problem or slowing its rate can further improve the cycle life of lead-carbon batteries, significantly enhancing their market competitiveness. Using a colloidal electrolyte instead of dilute sulfuric acid solution can control acid stratification. However, the introduction of a colloidal electrolyte reduces the utilization rate of electrode active materials, affecting battery capacity, and negatively impacts the battery's charge reception and high-power discharge capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention (the purpose of the invention):

[0006] A self-stirring water-circulating lead-carbon battery includes a flat plate electrode (including a positive electrode and a negative electrode) placed in a sealed battery case. The flat plate electrode is placed perpendicular to the bottom surface of the battery case. A plate of carbon material is disposed above the flat plate electrode inside the battery case. The flat plate electrode is supported by a flat plate grid with through holes. The lower part of a vertically placed grid is filled with carbon material, and the negative electrode active material is filled on the grid above the carbon material to form a negative electrode. The positive electrode active material is filled on another grid to form a positive electrode.

[0007] The carbon material used for filling is a carbon paste prepared by mixing activated carbon and binder in a mass ratio of 50-95:50-5 (preferably 75-95:25-5, more preferably 85:15).

[0010] The carbon material used in the plate is a carbon material with hydrogen-oxygen composite function after treatment. The treatment process is as follows:

[0011] 1) Activation of plate carbon material: Take a plate carbon material and immerse it in a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution for 1-5 hours, wherein the mass ratio of the plate carbon material to the total mass of the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution is 1:(10-1000) (preferably 1:(50-200)), and the concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution is 0.1mol / L-10mol / L (preferably 0.5-5mol / L). Take out the plate carbon material after immersion and dry it at a temperature of 40-120℃ (preferably 60-80℃) for 1-24 hours (preferably 8-16 hours). Transfer the dried plate carbon material to a nitrogen atmosphere sintering furnace for activation at a temperature of 700-1200℃ for 1-10 hours (preferably 800-1000℃, 4-6 hours).

[0012] 2) Preparation of plate carbon material with hydrogen-oxygen composite function: The activated plate carbon material is immersed in chloroplatinic acid aqueous solution for 1-5 hours, wherein the mass ratio of plate carbon material to the total mass of aqueous solution is 1:(10-1000) (preferably 1:(50-200)), and the concentration of chloroplatinic acid solution is 0.1mol / L-10mol / L (preferably 0.5-5mol / L). The immersed plate carbon material is removed and dried at a temperature of 40-120℃ (preferably 60-80℃) for 1-24 hours (preferably 8-16 hours). The dried plate carbon material is then immersed in sodium borohydride solution for reduction reaction for 1-5 hours, wherein the mass ratio of activated plate carbon material to the total mass of sodium borohydride solution is 1:(10-1000) (preferably 1:(50-200)), and the concentration of sodium borohydride solution is 0.1mol / L-10mol / L (0.5-5mol / L).

[0013] The treated carbon plate material with hydrogen and oxygen functions is placed on top of the welded lead-carbon battery, avoiding contact with the electrode tabs, or the tabs are insulated. Insulation treatment refers to adding an insulating plastic sleeve or coating insulating glue to the part of the tab that is higher than the carbon plate material.

[0014] The thickness of the carbon material for the plate with hydrogen-oxygen composite function is 0.01-10mm, preferably 0.5-2mm.

[0015] In order to ensure that the amount of catalyst used in the chemical process of hydrogen-oxygen water generation is sufficient, the mass ratio of chloroplatinic acid to the mass of the carbon material being coated in the carbon material treatment process is 0.001-1000:1, preferably 50-500:1. The carbon material of the carbon material is carbon felt, carbon paper or carbon cloth.

[0016] By weight, the negative electrode of a lead-carbon battery consists of: 500-800 parts lead powder, 1-20 parts carbon material, 6-10 parts barium sulfate, and 0.1-0.5 parts short polypropylene fibers with a length of 0.1-5 mm and a diameter of 100 nm-5 μm.

[0018] The preparation process of lead-carbon battery electrodes is as follows:

[0019] Preparation of negative electrode A: (1) By weight, 500-800 parts of lead powder, 1-20 parts of carbon material, 6-10 parts of barium sulfate, and 0.1-0.5 parts of polypropylene short fibers with a length of 0.1-5 mm and a diameter of 100 nm-5 μm are stirred and premixed. While stirring, 50-100 parts of water are added to the premixed powder and stirred for 1-60 min to obtain lead paste; (2) First, the prepared carbon paste is scraped onto the grid at the bottom of the lead-carbon battery grid, and then the prepared lead paste is scraped onto the remaining metal lead grid. After drying and curing, the negative electrode of the lead-carbon battery is obtained. The curing temperature is 30-50℃, the humidity is 70-95%, and the curing time is 10-30 hours. The drying temperature is 60-120℃ and the time is 10-30 hours.

[0020] B. Positive electrode preparation: The positive electrode of the lead-acid battery is prepared according to the same process steps as the negative electrode preparation steps (1) and (2). The difference is that no carbon material is added during the positive electrode preparation process to obtain lead paste, and only lead paste is scraped onto the grid.

[0021] In a lead-carbon battery, a flat electrode is placed in a sealed battery box with the electrode perpendicular to the bottom of the battery box. Sulfuric acid electrolyte is injected into the battery box. The mass ratio of sulfuric acid electrolyte to negative electrode lead paste active material is 60-200:50. The mass concentration of sulfuric acid electrolyte is 1.1-1.4 g / ml. The volume ratio of sulfuric acid electrolyte to battery box is (4-20):35.

[0022] Beneficial effects of this invention:

[0023] This invention provides a method to avoid electrolyte stratification in flooded lead-carbon batteries by setting up a self-stirring water-circulating flooded lead-carbon battery. Specifically, electrodes with low hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution overpotentials are arranged at the bottom of the positive and negative plates of the lead-carbon battery. Their function is to electrolyze a certain amount of water at the end of charging to produce hydrogen and oxygen. As the hydrogen and oxygen diffuse upwards through the gaps between the plates and separators, they generate bubbles, which agitate the electrolyte, thereby eliminating acid stratification, suppressing irreversible sulfation at the bottom of the negative electrode, and improving the cycle life of the lead-carbon battery. A composite carbon felt material with catalytic activity for hydrogen-oxygen recombination is placed in the upper part of the battery cell. Hydrogen and oxygen diffused through the gaps between the plates and separators react chemically with the catalyst as they pass through the carbon felt, generating water and achieving water circulation. Using the technical solution provided by this invention, not only can acid stratification be avoided, but water consumption of the battery can also be reduced, thus further improving the cycle life of the lead-carbon battery.
