Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum oxygen battery, also known as aluminum air fuel cell, is a green energy source that uses light metal aluminum as the anode active material and air as the cathode active material. The principle is to insert an aluminum plate as the anode in the electrolyte, and then introduce oxygen in the air as the cathode. The two levels are led out with wires to generate current and do work. Theoretically, it can provide energy continuously, with the advantages of high energy density (theoretical energy density 2800Wh / kg), stable discharge, and low cost. Aluminum is also the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust and has a low price. The specific capacity of aluminum is as high as 2.98mAh / g, second only to lithium (3.86mAh / g), and the manufacturing cost is low. At the same time, aluminum air batteries have good safety and a wide temperature range. They are quite feasible green power sources, and therefore have attracted the attention of scientific and technological personnel and industrial circles around the world.

[0003] Since the invention of aluminum-oxygen batteries in the United States in 1939, research and development results have been remarkable. However, most of them are used in fixed occasions. After 2000, people began to develop aluminum-oxygen battery cars. In June 2014, Alcoa and Israel's Finnegan jointly developed aluminum-oxygen battery cars and conducted road tests, with a range of 1,600km, which is a milestone. However, there are still many technical difficulties in aluminum-oxygen battery cars that have not been broken through, especially the large battery size, complex structure, and the need to replace the aluminum plate or the entire battery when the aluminum plate is exhausted. These problems have not been solved, resulting in the inability to industrialize aluminum-oxygen battery-powered cars.

[0004] To address the above difficulties, we have invented an aluminum-oxygen battery that can be used continuously, allowing aluminum-oxygen battery cars to run continuously without replacing aluminum plates or new batteries. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention changes the aluminum plate into aluminum particles, aluminum wire, aluminum sheet and other materials, and adds a microporous basket capable of storing aluminum particles in the electrolyte. The aluminum particles are transported to the aluminum anode microporous basket by the particle transport pipeline to undergo oxidation reaction, forming an anode, and forming a loop with the air oxygen cathode through the lead wire to perform work. When the aluminum metal particles are oxidized and consumed in the electrolyte, the automatic feeder automatically starts to transport the aluminum metal particles in the aluminum material box into the aluminum anode microporous basket, so that the raw materials are continuously replenished, the current is continuously generated and the work is continuously performed, that is, the aluminum particles are automatically replenished in real time, and the purpose of timely storage of electricity is achieved, so that the aluminum oxygen battery-powered vehicle is no longer restricted by the replacement of aluminum plates or new batteries.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: firstly, a power supply box 2 is set, an air oxygen cathode 1 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the power supply box, an aluminum anode microporous basket 6 is installed on the other side of the box, a particle conveying pipe 8 is inserted above the aluminum anode microporous basket 6, a feeder 9 is installed in the middle of the conveying pipe 8, an aluminum material box 10 is installed on the upper end of the conveying pipe 8, and then the air oxygen cathode 1 and the aluminum anode microporous basket 6 are connected by a lead wire 3, a load motor 4 is connected in series between the two wires, and finally an electrolyte 5 (such as caustic soda) is injected into the power supply box 2, and then the whole device constitutes a power supply or a battery. When the aluminum metal particles 7 in the aluminum anode microporous basket 6 undergo an oxidation reaction, an anode from which electrons flow out is formed, and the air oxygen cathode 1 undergoing a reduction reaction is the cathode of the battery, and the two form a loop through the lead wire 3 to do work. When the aluminum metal particles 7 in the aluminum anode microporous basket 6 are oxidized and consumed less, the automatic feeder 9 will start to automatically transport the aluminum metal particles 7 in the aluminum material box 10 and inject them into the aluminum anode microporous basket 6, so as to continuously replenish the raw materials, continuously generate current and continuously do work, providing a continuous source of power for the car without replacing aluminum plates or batteries.
