Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and in particular relates to a low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halides and application thereof in zinc-iodine batteries. Background Art
[0002] Large-scale grid-connected utilization of renewable energy is a key component in achieving carbon neutrality. Compared to the currently widely used pumped storage technology, the spatiotemporal flexibility of electrochemical energy storage better accommodates the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, making it crucial for large-scale energy storage applications. Currently, commercial organic lithium-ion batteries still dominate large-scale electrochemical energy storage. However, limited lithium reserves and safety concerns associated with the use of flammable organic electrolytes are increasingly exposing their limitations in large-scale energy storage applications.
[0003] Low-cost, high-safety aqueous zinc batteries are a new electrochemical energy storage technology that has emerged in recent years and are highly anticipated for large-scale energy storage applications. However, traditional insertion and removal type positive electrodes (manganese and vanadium oxides) have low voltages (below 1.4V) and low capacities (less than 300mA hg -1 ), resulting in the overall battery energy density being less than ideal (100Wh kg -1 In contrast, the use of iodine conversion type positive electrode with variable valence can achieve both high capacity and high energy density of the battery. In particular, when I - / I 0 and I 0 / I + When both redox pairs are excited, a four-electron transfer process can be achieved, and a high current of 422.2 mA hg -1 The specific capacity and 420Wh kg -1 energy density. In this process, the high voltage I 0 / I + The redox couple contributes more than half of the capacity and energy density. - / I 0 Based on the redox pair, the excitation I 0 / I + Redox pairs have very important practical value.
[0004] In previous studies, high-valence I 0 / I + Redox couple excitation usually requires the use of a high concentration of halogen ions (Br - 、Cl - ) electrolyte. Although this type of electrolyte can stimulate and stabilize I +However, their high viscosity and low ionic conductivity significantly affect the battery reaction kinetics. In particular, these electrolytes are often extremely corrosive, causing the zinc anode to rapidly degrade due to severe pitting corrosion. These factors have seriously hindered the practical application of four-electron iodine conversion zinc-iodine batteries. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the problems existing in the above background technology, the present invention provides a low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halides, which activates I by means of the C-Br bond in the additive. 0 / I + Redox pairs form C-Br-I chemical bonds, which stimulate and stabilize I 0 / I + The effect of redox couple enables the battery to maintain I for a long time at high current density 0 / I + The capacity contribution of the redox couple is improved, thereby obtaining a zinc-iodine battery with high specific energy, high specific power and long life.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halides.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a four-electron iodine conversion zinc-iodine battery assembled based on the low-concentration electrolyte containing organic halides, wherein the positive electrode can excite reversible I - / I 0 and I 0 / I + Redox couple.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halide comprises zinc sulfate, deionized water and organic halide; the molar ratio of the zinc sulfate to the organic halide is 3:(0.3-1); and the organic halide is one or more of 2-bromoacetamide, 2-bromopropionamide or 3-bromopropionamide.
[0010] Preferably, the concentration of the electrolyte is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5 mol / L.
[0011] The method for preparing the low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halides comprises the following specific steps:
[0012] S1. Zinc sulfate was added to deionized water and stirred at room temperature to prepare a zinc sulfate solution;
[0013] S2. Add an organic halide to a zinc sulfate solution and stir at room temperature to prepare a low-concentration electrolyte containing a non-corrosive organic halide.
[0014] Preferably, the stirring time in step S1 is 1 to 2 hours, and the stirring time in step S2 is 2 to 4 hours.
[0015] A four-electron iodine conversion type zinc-iodine battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a diaphragm and a low-concentration electrolyte containing a non-corrosive organic halide.
[0016] Preferably, the positive electrode is an iodine composite material encapsulated by activated carbon, the negative electrode is a zinc metal sheet, and the separator is glass fiber.
[0017] Preferably, the activated carbon-encapsulated iodine composite material is activated carbon and iodine element supported thereon.
[0018] The present invention is the first to use a low-concentration zinc sulfate electrolyte (0-5 mol / L) containing a non-corrosive organic halide additive (2-bromoacetamide, 2-bromopropionamide or 3-bromopropionamide) to replace the previous high-concentration halogen ion electrolyte (15-30 mol / L). The electrolyte does not contain highly corrosive free halogen ions (Br - or Cl - ), which stimulates I 0 / I + The redox couple relies on a C-Br-I chemical bond, rather than a conventional IX (X=Br, Cl) interhalogen compound, to form. Compared to conventional interhalogen bonds, the C-Br-I bond exhibits faster kinetics and is less susceptible to hydrolysis and the shuttle effect. As a result, the assembled four-electron zinc-iodine battery achieves high energy density, high power density, and long cycle life, providing a novel solution for the development of four-electron iodine conversion zinc-iodine batteries.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This invention is the first in the industry to propose the use of organic halogen chemical bonds (C-Br-I) to stimulate high voltage I 0 / I + Redox couple, and with conventional I - / I 0 The redox pair combines to form a high-capacity four-electron iodine conversion zinc-iodine battery. Compared with the previous I based on conventional halogen chemical bond excitation 0 / I + Redox couple, dependent on I excited by C-Br-I 0 / I + The redox couple has faster reaction kinetics, and the formed organic halogen compounds are less susceptible to hydrolysis and shuttle effects in low-concentration electrolytes.
[0021] 2. The low-concentration electrolyte containing non-corrosive organic halides of the present invention is lower in cost, less corrosive, and has higher ionic conductivity than conventional aqueous electrolytes containing high-concentration halogen ions. This avoids the severe pitting corrosion of the zinc negative electrode by the high-concentration halogen ion aqueous electrolyte, which leads to its rapid degradation.
[0022] 3. The present invention optimizes the ratio of zinc sulfate and organic halide additives in the electrolyte to achieve a four-electron iodine conversion zinc iodine battery at a super high rate (60A g -1 ) charge and discharge under the condition of 40Ag, which significantly improved the energy density and energy efficiency of the four-electron iodine conversion zinc-iodine battery under fast charge conditions; -1 Under high current density, a long life of more than 16,000 cycles can be achieved, which is conducive to reducing battery use costs; the optimized electrolyte can support a high loading capacity (24mg cm) far exceeding the current industry reports. -2 ) The iodine positive electrode realizes four-electron conversion, and I 0 / I + The high-voltage discharge platform capacity contributed by the redox couple can be maintained at around 48%, which helps to obtain high-energy single cells.
