Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electrochemical power sources, and particularly relates to an Org / ZnSO 4 electrolyte, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in a secondary battery. Background Art

[0002] As one of the secondary batteries or rechargeable batteries for electrical energy storage and conversion, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have the advantages of high energy density, high cycle stability, high energy efficiency, etc., and have been successfully used as the power source for most portable electronic products and new energy vehicles, meeting the requirements of practical applications. Some characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, such as low safety, limit their application in certain fields. Specifically, the risk of safety accidents in lithium-ion batteries is relatively high, mainly due to the flammability of organic electrolytes and thermal runaway caused by the reaction between electrode materials and electrolytes. In addition, the high requirements for lithium-ion assembly technology, the need for a dry environment during the manufacturing process, the high prices of cathode transition metal materials, organic electrolytes, and lithium salts, as well as the limited lithium reserves, all lead to high manufacturing and material costs for lithium-ion batteries. In terms of safety, due to the limited ionic conductivity of organic electrolytes, a battery design with an ultra-thin electrolyte layer needs to be adopted to improve power and energy density, which is more likely to lead to high safety risks. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications, there is an urgent need to find a secondary battery energy storage system that can replace lithium-ion batteries. Compared with the high cost of lithium resources and the safety hazards of organic electrolytes in LIBs, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have received extensive attention due to their safety, environmental friendliness, low cost, and simple manufacturing process. Metal zinc has the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity, up to 820 mAh / g; relatively low redox potential, as low as -0.76 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode; high element abundance, and lower cost compared with alkali metals. In addition, the electrolyte of AZIBs is also much cheaper than the commonly used electrolyte of LIBs, and the higher safety and better ionic conductivity make AZIBs a potential electrochemical energy storage system.

[0003] Among the numerous electrolytes for AZIBs, zinc sulfate electrolyte has the advantages of high conductivity and low cost, which makes it have important application potential in the field of sustainable energy storage. In order to further improve the cycle stability of AZIBs, studies have explored the application of organic molecules and inorganic ions as additives, such as dioxane (DX) molecules and tetrabutylammonium (TBA +) Ions. For example, Patent CN118263543B discloses an aqueous zinc-ion battery electrolyte containing additives, its preparation method, and a zinc-ion battery. The electrolyte includes a zinc salt, water, and an additive; the additive is a mixture of an amino-silane coupling agent and cerium sulfate; Preparation method: Dissolve zinc sulfate in deionized water to prepare a zinc sulfate solution, then add cerium sulfate to the zinc sulfate solution, and ultrasonically disperse to prepare a homogeneous solution. Finally, add the amino-silane coupling agent to the homogeneous solution and stir well to prepare the electrolyte. An aqueous zinc-ion battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and the above-mentioned aqueous zinc-ion battery electrolyte. Applying this electrolyte to an aqueous zinc-ion battery can improve the cycle stability of the battery, prevent short circuits in the aqueous zinc-ion battery, inhibit the growth of zinc dendrites, avoid the production of by-products and hydrogen evolution corrosion, and extend the cycle life of the zinc-ion battery. Patent CN118117186A provides an electrolyte for an aqueous zinc-ion battery, its preparation method, and application. The electrolyte includes a zinc salt and vanadyl sulfate. It is prepared by the following method: Dissolve the zinc salt in water and add vanadyl sulfate, and mix and stir to obtain the electrolyte; In this invention, by adding vanadyl sulfate to the commonly used electrolytes zinc sulfate and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate in aqueous zinc-ion batteries, the capacity and cycle stability of vanadium oxide V 2 O 5 and VO 2 as the cathode material of the aqueous zinc-ion battery are improved. The high zincophilicity of organic substances can be stably adsorbed on the surface of the zinc negative electrode, thus effectively preventing dendrites and inhibiting side reactions. Some molecules can change the solvent sheath structure of zinc ions and displace a part of the water molecules to reduce the corrosion and passivation of the zinc negative electrode surface caused by the highly active water in the desolvation process (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, 63, e202402833; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, 146, 17103). In addition, some organic / inorganic cations are stably adsorbed at the synapses on the zinc surface, playing an electrostatic shielding role in the diffusion of Zn 2+ and thus homogenizing the electric field to effectively improve the zinc deposition behavior (Nat. Commun. 2022, 13, 3252; Energy Storage Mater. 2024, 71, 103615). The introduced organic cations combine the characteristics of inorganic ions and organic substances. They can not only be effectively and stably adsorbed on the surface of the zinc anode to isolate the highly active water molecules in the desolvation process to inhibit side reactions, but also the cations on the surface can homogenize the electric field to achieve a flat and dense zinc deposition mode.

[0004] In summary, organic molecules or inorganic ions are considered an effective way to solve the interface problems of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. By introducing additives of organic molecules or inorganic ions, the stability of the interface is increased, thereby improving the electrochemical properties such as corrosion resistance, rate performance, and cycle stability of secondary batteries. Therefore, how to explore an electrolyte formulation with high stability in aqueous electrolytes has gradually become an important means to improve the interface stability of zinc negative electrode electrolytes in this field.
