Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy materials, and particularly relates to a zinc powder negative electrode for aqueous zinc ion batteries. Background Art

[0002] Aqueous zinc ion batteries have received extensive attention due to their characteristics of low cost, high safety, and high capacity; in addition, the metal zinc negative electrode has advantages such as a high theoretical specific capacity (820 mAh / g) and a low redox potential (-0.762 V, relative to the standard hydrogen electrode), etc., and has become one of the focuses of attention in the field of new secondary batteries at present, and is considered to be the most promising electrochemical energy storage device in the future.

[0003] However, similar to the metal lithium negative electrode, the metal zinc negative electrode of aqueous zinc ion batteries also has problems such as dendrites, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion. When these problems are serious, they will affect the deposition and dissolution efficiency and stability of the metal zinc negative electrode, thereby causing the overall performance of aqueous zinc batteries to decline.

[0004] Currently, the protection strategies for metal zinc negative electrodes mainly include zinc negative electrode interface modification, three-dimensional electrode structure design, and electrolyte optimization. These methods can significantly improve the reversibility and stability of metal zinc negative electrodes; currently, the main zinc negative electrodes are zinc foil negative electrodes and zinc powder negative electrodes. Compared with zinc foil negative electrodes, zinc powder negative electrodes can be fully wetted with the electrolyte, have higher electrochemical activity and higher capacity, and are the trend of the industrialization of negative electrode materials for future aqueous zinc ion batteries; however, during the charge and discharge process of zinc powder negative electrodes, there are problems such as the collapse of zinc powder particle structures due to deintercalation.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a zinc powder negative electrode for aqueous zinc ion batteries. After introducing a micron-level polymer ultra-thin coating on the surface of the zinc powder negative electrode through interface modification, it can effectively prevent the collapse of zinc powder particle structures, and can also maximize the high electrochemical activity of zinc powder; the silicon hydroxyl group (Si-OH) in the organosilicon group grafted on the side chain of polyacrylic resin or polyurethane can form a strong Si-O-M bond with the metal substrate, which can enhance the adhesion and hydrophobicity of the coating. After grafting organic fluorine groups on polyacrylic resin or polyurethane, the flexibility and corrosion resistance of the coating can be improved. At the same time, the insulating property of the polymer coating enables zinc ions to be reduced and deposited under the coating, thereby more effectively improving the utilization rate of the negative electrode, prolonging the cycle life, and improving the performance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, a zinc powder negative electrode for aqueous zinc ion batteries is provided, which can solve the problem that the collapse of zinc powder particle structures during the charge and discharge process of zinc powder negative electrodes limits the stability of zinc powder negative electrodes during long-term cycling.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery, comprising a zinc negative electrode prepared from metallic zinc powder and a protective coating provided on the surface of the zinc negative electrode, wherein the protective coating comprises at least one of a polyacrylic resin side chain grafted with an organosilicon group or an organofluorine group, and a polyurethane resin side chain grafted with an organosilicon group or an organofluorine group.

[0009] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, its preparation method at least includes the following steps:

[0010] S1. Add at least one solution of a polyacrylic resin side chain grafted with an organosilicon group or an organofluorine group, and a polyurethane resin side chain grafted with an organosilicon group or an organofluorine group synthesized in the laboratory to deionized water and dilute evenly to obtain a slurry;

[0011] S2. Pre-bake the zinc powder negative electrode in an oven;

[0012] S3. Build the slurry obtained in step S1 onto the surface of the zinc powder negative electrode, and after drying, obtain a zinc powder negative electrode with a protective coating.

[0013] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, the mass fraction of the solute of the slurry obtained in step S1 is 1-80%.

[0014] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, in step S2, the pre-baking temperature of the zinc powder negative electrode of the coating substrate is 50-150°C, and the baking time is 0.1-10 min.

[0015] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, in step S3, the building methods include spraying, brushing, and roll coating.

[0016] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, the drying method in step S3 is air drying or infrared drying, the drying temperature is 80-150°C, the drying time is 0.1-10 min, and the thickness of the zinc negative electrode protective coating is 0.1-2 μm.

[0017] As an improvement to the zinc powder negative electrode for an aqueous zinc-ion battery of the present invention, the organosilicon group is specifically -R n SiX 4-n , where R is an organic group, X is an alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon group, and 1≤n≤3; the organofluorine group is specifically -(CF 2 ) n -CF 3 , where 1≤n≤3. Preferably, the organosilicon group is specifically -O-CH 2 -CH2 -CH 2 -Si(OCH 3 ) 3 ; The organic fluorine group is specifically -O-CH 2 -CH 2 -CF 3 .

[0018] The present invention provides a preparation method for a zinc powder negative electrode protection coating of an aqueous zinc ion battery. By constructing a micron-level polymer ultra-thin coating on the surface of the zinc powder negative electrode, the cycle stability of the zinc powder negative electrode is improved. It can not only prevent the collapse of the zinc powder particle structure, but also maximize the high electrochemically active characteristics of the zinc powder; the insulating property of the polymer coating enables zinc ions to be reduced and deposited under the coating.

[0019] During use, the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, separator and electrolyte are assembled into a button battery. Of course, the present invention uses the prepared protection coating to modify the zinc powder negative electrode. The rechargeable aqueous zinc ion battery can be made into not only button type, but also column type, sheet type and soft package and other structures.

[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. In the present invention, the surface of the zinc powder negative electrode of the aqueous zinc ion battery is covered with a polymer protection coating that has both a relatively high tensile strength and elastic modulus and a hydrophobic desolvation function. The elastic modulus of the polymer coating in the present invention is between 0.1 - 4.0 GPa, and the elastic elongation rate is between 50% - 400%. This enables the coating to effectively prevent the structural collapse of the zinc powder particles during charge and discharge, and can maximize the high electrochemically active characteristics of the zinc powder; the side-chain grafted organosilicon group can improve the hydrophobicity of the coating, and has a certain desolvation effect. At the same time, the insulating property of the polymer coating enables zinc ions to be reduced and deposited under the coating, thereby extending the cycle life of the aqueous zinc ion battery.

[0022] 2. In the present invention, the preparation process of the polymer negative electrode protection coating is simple, fast, environmentally friendly, and low in cost, which is convenient for developing high-performance zinc ion batteries.

[0023] 3. After introducing a micron-level polymer ultra-thin coating on the surface of the zinc powder anode through interface modification, the collapse of the zinc powder particle structure can be effectively prevented, and the high electrochemical activity of the zinc powder can be maximally exerted. The silicon hydroxyl group (Si-OH) in the organosilicon group grafted on the side chain of polyacrylic resin or polyurethane can form a strong Si-O-M bond with the metal substrate, which can enhance the adhesion and hydrophobicity of the coating. After grafting the organofluoro group on the side chain of polyacrylic resin or polyurethane, the flexibility and corrosion resistance of the coating can be improved. At the same time, the insulating property of the polymer coating enables zinc ions to be reduced and deposited under the coating, thereby more effectively improving the anode utilization rate, extending the cycle life, and enhancing the performance.

[0024] 4. The thickness of the zinc powder anode protection coating prepared by the present invention is only 0.1 - 2 μm. This coating can reduce the contact between the zinc powder anode and the electrolyte and protect the surface of the zinc powder from being corroded by water. At the same time, the polymer chain structure and functional groups of the coating endow the coating with good flexibility, hydrophobicity, and compactness, making the coating have high elasticity and mechanical strength. After constructing this polymer protection coating on the surface of the zinc powder anode, it can have a good protective effect on the structural collapse caused by the insertion and extraction of zinc ions, and at the same time can play a role in uniforming the electric field. In addition, the insulating property of the coating can prevent zinc ions from depositing outside the coating, ensure that zinc ions are reduced under the coating, and reduce the formation of dendrites. These three protective effects can greatly improve the cycle performance of the aqueous zinc-ion battery.

[0025] 5. In the prior art, the anode coatings of aqueous zinc-ion batteries are all for the protection of the zinc foil anode system. This application is for the protection of the zinc powder anode system with more industrialization value, which has more practical application value. In addition, the materials used in this technology have low cost and can be prepared on a large scale. Description of the Drawings
