Description

[0002] The rapid development of society has continuously increased the demand for energy, which has promoted the development of efficient energy storage technology. In recent years, aqueous magnesium ion batteries have attracted extensive attention due to their own advantages. Magnesium is inexpensive and has abundant reserves on earth, which can effectively reduce the cost. Compared with traditional organic electrolytes, aqueous electrolytes have the advantages of non-flammability, safety, non-toxicity and higher ionic conductivity, which avoids the safety problems that may be caused by organic electrolytes. Therefore, aqueous magnesium ion batteries are a kind of aqueous energy storage system with great application prospect.

[0003] However, the further development and application of aqueous magnesium ion batteries are limited by the bottleneck of positive electrode materials. First, most magnesium ion battery positive electrodes are matched with organic electrolytes, and there are few positive electrode materials matched with aqueous electrolytes, mainly manganese-based oxides, vanadium-based oxides and prussian blue analogues. Secondly, the discharge capacity and working voltage of the current aqueous magnesium ion battery positive electrode are at a low level, which greatly limits the energy density of the aqueous magnesium ion battery.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a battery positive electrode material, which is a hydroxyl oxide of aluminum, cobalt and nickel, and the molar ratio of aluminum, cobalt and nickel is x:y:z, wherein the sum of x, y and z is 1, 0.05<=x<=0.15, and 0.25<=y<=0.35.

[0033] Specifically, the nickel element is the main active element in the charging and discharging process, and needs to maintain a high proportion as the core element among the three metal elements to ensure the positive electrode specific capacity. The introduction of the cobalt element can significantly improve the capacity retention rate of the positive electrode material, and needs to reach a certain proportion to have a more obvious capacity retention rate improvement effect, but too high will reduce the proportion of the nickel element, and then reduce the positive electrode specific capacity, therefore, the proportion of the cobalt element in the present application is controlled in the appropriate range, which can ensure the positive electrode specific capacity and the capacity retention rate at the same time. The introduction of the aluminum element can improve the discharge voltage of the positive electrode material, and then can improve the energy density of the positive electrode material, and the proportion of the aluminum element in the present application has reached the edge of the voltage window of the electrolyte, therefore, the aluminum element proportion defined in the present application can fully play the role of the aluminum element in the positive electrode material.

[0034] Further, the specific values of x, y and z can be selected within the range defined in the present application, for example, the specific value of x can be 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.10, 0.012, 0.13 or 0.15, and the specific value of y can be 0.25, 0.28, 0.30, 0.32, 0.34 or 0.35.

[0036] Step 1, dissolving aluminum salt, cobalt salt and nickel salt in deionized water to prepare a metal salt solution, then adding an alkali solution to react to generate a precipitate, washing and drying the obtained precipitate to obtain a precursor powder.

[0038] The total concentration of aluminum ions, cobalt ions and nickel ions in the metal salt solution is 0.2-0.5 mol / L, and the molar ratio of the alkali to the sum of metal ions in the metal salt solution is (2-2.5):1. By controlling the amount of raw materials, the aluminum salt, the cobalt salt and the nickel salt can be generated into a precipitate by a coprecipitation method.

[0039] The precipitate is washed with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol in sequence, and then dried in an oven at 50-80 DEG C for 8-16 hours. The unreacted salt and alkali on the surface of the precipitate can be removed by washing to ensure the purity of the product.

[0040] Step 2, the precursor powder is made into a slurry, the slurry is coated on a substrate, and the precursor electrode sheet is obtained after drying.

[0041] Specifically, the slurry is prepared by dispersing the precursor powder, the conductive agent and the binder in the solvent, and the mass ratio of the precursor powder, the conductive agent and the binder is (7-8):(1-2):1, and the ratio of the binder to the solvent is 10-20 mg / ml, that is, 1 ml of solvent is used for every 10-20 mg of binder. The conductive agent is selected as acetylene black, the binder is selected as polyvinylidene fluoride, and the solvent is selected as N-methyl pyrrolidone. The substrate is carbon cloth, and the thickness of the slurry coated on the carbon cloth substrate is 100-200 microns. After coating, the slurry is dried in an oven at 50-80 DEG C for 8-16 hours.

[0042] Step 3, the precursor electrode sheet is oxidized in a three-electrode system by cyclic voltammetry to obtain a battery positive electrode material.

[0043] Specifically, the precursor electrode sheet is used as the working electrode, the carbon electrode is used as the counter electrode, the silver / silver chloride is used as the reference electrode, the oxidation solution is a 1M concentration of potassium hydroxide solution, and the cyclic voltammetry is used to cycle 8-12 times at a scanning speed of 15-25 mV / s under a voltage of-0.15-0.55V.

[0044] Another specific embodiment of the present application provides the application of the above-mentioned battery positive electrode material or the battery positive electrode material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method in a water-based magnesium ion battery.
