Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aqueous zinc ion batteries, and particularly relates to a green and speed-controllable method for preparing an in-situ polyacrylamide gel electrolyte. Background Art

[0002] Gel electrolytes are a common method for stabilizing the zinc anode-electrolyte interface. Generally, during the zinc plating / stripping process, side reactions on zinc electrodes are primarily initiated by active water molecules in the electrolyte. Furthermore, uncontrollable zinc deposition and nucleation behavior lead to a porous and irregular deposition morphology, further increasing the contact area between the zinc electrode and the active water molecules in the electrolyte and accelerating corrosion of the zinc electrode. Corrosion and byproducts, in turn, cause uneven electric field distribution on the electrode surface, exacerbating the formation of zinc dendrites. Therefore, limiting the contact between water molecules and zinc metal and regulating zinc ion deposition behavior can effectively inhibit side reactions and dendrite formation. Hydrogel electrolytes, due to their low active water content and rich polar functional groups, can effectively inhibit side reactions and zinc dendrite formation. Furthermore, gel electrolytes possess high mechanical strength and processability, which not only prevent electrolyte leakage but also have applications in flexible energy storage.

[0003] However, commonly used gel electrolytes such as polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and sodium polyacrylate (PANa) still suffer from low ionic conductivity, poor mechanical strength, and poor salt tolerance. In recent years, polyacrylamide-based gel electrolytes (PAM-modified gel electrolytes) have become a research hotspot. On the one hand, the monomer acrylamide (AM) is highly water-soluble, relatively easy to polymerize, and simple to modify. On the other hand, PAM gel electrolytes contain a large number of polar functional groups that preferentially interact with zinc ions, modifying the zinc ion's solvation structure, reducing the activity of water molecules, and inhibiting side reactions and dendrite formation.

[0004] Traditional polyacrylamide gel synthesis processes require additional energy (heat, ultraviolet light, electricity, etc.), long preparation times (tens of hours), toxic chemical initiators (potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), ammonium persulfate (NH4)2S2O8)), and crosslinkers (N-methylenebisacrylamide, MBAA), resulting in poor controllability of the synthesis rate. Furthermore, a two-step process is typically used: a PAM hydrogel is first prepared, followed by immersion in a zinc salt solution or injection of a zinc salt into the gel to produce a PAM hydrogel electrolyte. This method, which produces gel electrolytes with unquantifiable zinc salt content and is time-consuming, can also cause irreversible deformation of the hydrogel due to swelling. Xu et al. (A mechanically durable hybrid hydrogel electrolyte developed by controllable accelerated polymerization mechanism toward a reliable aqueous zinc-ion battery) achieved room-temperature, second-scale, controllable, one-step preparation of a gel electrolyte by adjusting the zinc sulfate concentration, through the combined action of an initiator and a crosslinker. This method is a time-saving, energy-efficient, and economical method. Furthermore, the addition of montmorillonite nanoparticles (MMT), a modifier, during the preparation process significantly improves the mechanical strength of the gel electrolyte. Polyacrylamide-based gel electrolytes are typically prepared ex situ, sandwiched between electrodes. A poor electrode-electrolyte interface can lead to increased interfacial resistance, zinc dendrite formation, and interfacial side reactions. Based on this, Han et al. (Chemical Welding of the Electrode–Electrolyte Interface by Zn-Metal-Initiated In Situ Gelation for Ultralong-Life Zn-Ion Batteries) recently reported a method for constructing a polyacrylamide gel electrolyte in situ at the zinc anode, leveraging the strong reducing properties of zinc metal. Sulfate radicals generated by the redox reaction between the zinc anode and the initiator K2S2O8 initiate the polymerization of acrylamide monomers, which then polymerize in situ on the zinc electrode to form a gel electrolyte. The in situ gel electrolyte is tightly bonded to the zinc electrode, effectively suppressing zinc dendrites and interfacial side reactions.However, the preparation of polyacrylamide gel electrolytes still requires toxic initiators. To this end, Zeng et al. (In-situ constructing polyacrylamide interphase enables dendrite-free zinc anode in aqueous batteries) placed zinc metal in a mixed solution of zinc sulfate and acrylamide monomer, provided electrons through an external circuit, and formed an in-situ polyacrylamide protective layer on the zinc metal surface. However, the preparation process is complex and requires additional electricity. Therefore, it remains a major challenge to construct a stable and good zinc anode-electrolyte interface by in-situ preparation of PAM gel electrolytes on zinc anodes through green and simple methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a green and controllable method for preparing in-situ polyacrylamide gel electrolyte. 2+ The mixed solution of AM is added dropwise to the surface of the zinc negative electrode. After a period of time, a PAM hydrogel electrolyte is prepared in situ on the surface of the zinc negative electrode. The in situ PAM hydrogel electrolyte provides a good electrode-electrolyte interface. The uniform and compact PAM on the zinc electrode has a good ion path, which promotes the uniform nucleation of the initial zinc and reduces side reactions, thereby enhancing the reversibility of the zinc negative electrode. The preparation method provided by the present invention can prepare the PAM hydrogel electrolyte in situ at room temperature. Without adding external energy, initiator and crosslinking agent, Zn 2+ The hydrated zinc ions in the mixed solution of AM can induce AM to polymerize into PAM ( Figure 1 ), and with the increase of zinc salt solubility and external temperature, the polymerization time is significantly shortened, especially when Zn 2+ When zinc powder is added to the mixed solution of zinc and AM, the mixed solution can be completely gelled within 10 minutes. At the same time, the button battery assembled based on the in-situ PAM gel electrolyte shows good electrochemical cycling stability (the schematic diagram of the in-situ preparation of PAM hydrogel electrolyte on the zinc surface is shown in Figure 2 ).

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Preparation of polyacrylamide (PAM) gel electrolyte:

[0037] (1) Add 3.55 g of acrylamide (AM) to 10 mL of deionized water and stir to dissolve to obtain a 5 mol / L AM aqueous solution;

[0038] (2) 5.75 g of zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO4·7H2O) was uniformly dispersed in 10 mL of 5MAM aqueous solution to obtain a precursor solution (5MAM + 2 M ZnSO4);

[0039] (3) The precursor solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 18 h to obtain a polyacrylamide (PAM) gel electrolyte.

[0040] The FTIR spectra of the PAM gel electrolyte before and after gelation in Example 1 are shown in FIG. Figure 3 Middle a, Figure 3 Middle a shows that before the precursor solution is polymerized, the peaks at 1286, 1438, 1635, 3040, and 3115 cm -1 Under the conditions of 2925cm-1, strong bands from CH bending, CN stretching or CH2 bending, C=C stretching, and vinyl CH2 asymmetric stretching were observed. When the precursor solution was polymerized, the intensity of these bands gradually weakened, and some of them even disappeared. -1 The alkyl CH symmetric stretching band at the position begins to appear. These results strongly prove that the ZnSO4 solution triggers the gradual polymerization of AM monomers into polyacrylamide.

[0041] In addition, to further demonstrate the process, commercial AM and PAM gel electrolytes prepared in Example 1 and Example 8 were subjected to FTIR tests, and the results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 As shown in Figure b, the absorption peak of the prepared PAM is very similar to that of commercial AM. -1The absorption band at is caused by NH stretching vibration. The peaks of C=O stretching vibration and NH bending vibration of amide group are located at 1658cm -1 and 1608cm -1 More importantly, none of the prepared samples contained -C=C- (approximately 1000 cm -1 ), but it exists in acrylamide monomer, indicating that ZnSO4 solution triggers the gradual polymerization of AM monomer into polyacrylamide.

The results are shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown ( Figure 7 In situ PAM represents Zn / In situ PAM / Zn, and Ex situ PAM represents Zn / Exsitu PAM / Zn).
