Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a silicon-conductive metal-organic framework composite silicon-air battery and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] In an air battery, the anode is located inside the battery, and the air cathode is in close contact with the inside of the battery casing. Moreover, the active material of the cathode comes from oxygen in the air, so the air electrode occupies very little space in the battery. Therefore, with the same volume and weight, an air battery can hold more negative electrode reactants, thus having a higher capacity compared to a traditional battery.

[0003] Metal-air batteries possess high energy density, and currently, the main types include lithium-air batteries, magnesium-air batteries, aluminum-air batteries, and zinc-air batteries. However, all of these metal-air batteries still have some unresolved issues, such as dendrite formation during discharge causing short circuits, and corrosion of the metal anode and slow oxygen reduction reactions leading to low coulombic efficiency. Compared to metal-air batteries, research on silicon-air batteries using semiconductor silicon as the anode is still in its early stages.

[0004] Silicon, as one of the most abundant elements on Earth, has a wide range of raw material sources and boasts high energy density, making its advantages as an electrode material obvious. Furthermore, silicon-air batteries offer advantages such as low cost and environmental friendliness. The passivation and corrosion rate of the silicon anode in a silicon-air battery directly impacts the battery's performance. Simultaneously, silicon, as a semiconductor material, has lower conductivity than metallic materials. Therefore, finding a method to protect the silicon anode to reduce passivation and corrosion while improving its conductivity is crucial.

[0005] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination polymers that use inorganic metal ions or metal clusters as bonding points and organic ligands as connecting bridges. They possess characteristics such as corrosion resistance, large specific surface area, permanent porosity, tunable pore size, and customizable functionality. However, the poor conductivity of MOFs limits their application in energy storage. To address the low conductivity of MOFs, conductive MOFs have been developed based on MOFs, exhibiting significantly improved conductivity compared to traditional MOFs.

[0006] Therefore, conductive MOFs are expected to play a role in improving the efficiency of silicon-air batteries. Currently, conductive MOFs are already used in lithium-ion and potassium-ion batteries, and their excellent conductivity, large specific area, and porous structure have made significant contributions to improving battery performance. How to combine conductive MOFs with silicon anodes to effectively improve the performance of silicon-air batteries has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
