Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of energy storage batteries, and relates to an energy storage battery and a preparation method thereof. The energy storage battery uses a cement-based solid electrolyte, has the advantages of low cost and high safety, and has a high application prospect in the field of energy storage. BACKGROUND

[0002] An electrochemical energy storage system is a key system for realizing the conversion, storage and control of renewable clean energy, and is used to realize the conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy, and is required to have the characteristics of safety, low cost, high efficiency and long service life. With the development of new energy, the demand for energy storage products is increasingly urgent. A cement-based battery uses a cement-based material as a structural electrolyte and has a charging and discharging capacity, and is a promising structural energy storage integrated composite material, and is considered to be one of the solutions for large-scale energy storage in the future, and can provide emergency power in the case of power interruption in extreme weather, such as meeting the needs of lighting and communication, and enhancing the disaster tolerance of buildings in the case of power interruption in disasters. At present, research on cement-based energy storage devices has been started. CN119029326A discloses a cement-based energy storage device, which includes a cathode sheet, an anode sheet and a cement-based electrolyte matrix, the cathode sheet is connected with a positive current collector, the anode sheet is connected with a negative current collector, and the cement-based electrolyte matrix is arranged between the cathode sheet and the anode sheet, and the raw materials of the cement-based electrolyte matrix include silicate and water-soluble salt. CN118040066A discloses a cement-based lithium battery, which combines the functional materials commonly used in lithium batteries, including lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate and polyethylene oxide, with cement materials, uses iron powder to prepare the electrolyte of the battery, and uses polyvinylidene fluoride and butadiene rubber to prepare the adhesive layer of the battery, thereby forming a new type of cement-based lithium battery that can be charged and discharged multiple times. The battery has high energy density, long service life and high compressive strength retention rate, and can be better used in the field of construction engineering, and has a good application prospect. However, the research on cement-based batteries is still in its infancy, and there are many problems, and the performance still has a lot of room for improvement.

[0003] Wind-blown sand refers to the sand formed by the accumulation of a large amount of rock debris carried by the wind in desert areas. It is often found in deserts and gobi areas in China. The particles are uniform, with a particle size of 0.075-0.5mm, a small fineness modulus, and a relatively concentrated particle size distribution. Wind-blown sand is different from common building materials such as river sand or sea sand. Its particle size range is narrower, its density is higher, its porosity is lower, and its water retention capacity is poor. Therefore, river sand or sea sand cannot be directly replaced by wind-blown sand. Wind-blown sand is widely distributed in deserts and has abundant reserves. Desertification is one of the most serious problems facing us. Desertification area in China has reached 27% of the total land area and is still expanding. If wind-blown sand can be effectively utilized, it can be turned into treasure and to some extent reduce the deterioration of the ecological environment. Domestic application research of wind-blown sand is mainly used for roadbed and foundation. Although this method can solve the problem of shortage of river sand and sea sand to some extent, it cannot realize high-value utilization of wind-blown sand. Some studies have shown that sand can be used as a filler in energy storage batteries. For example, CN115863866A discloses a structure energy storage integrated concrete matrix battery. The concrete matrix is formed by foamed concrete, which is mixed with short fibers. The concrete matrix has an internal pore structure. The battery electrode includes a current collector, a tab, and the concrete matrix. The surface of the current collector is provided with an electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder. The concrete matrix provides a space for the current collector. The internal pore structure of the concrete matrix contains alkaline electrolyte, which is sealed by a surface cover layer. The battery maintains its energy storage performance while providing excellent mechanical properties through the concrete matrix. CN116053612A discloses a cement-based battery and a preparation method thereof. The cement-based battery includes a conductive cement base and a plurality of battery bodies connected in series in the conductive cement base. The conductive cement base is formed by pouring a cement-based electrolyte material. The cement-based electrolyte material includes the following components by weight percentage: cement 14.9%-65.0%, conductive material 0.1%-2.8%, fine aggregate 0-71.7%, water reducing agent 0-0.53%, and water 21.1-40%. The flowability of the cement-based electrolyte material is greater than or equal to 160mm. The cement-based battery includes a plurality of series-connected battery bodies, which improves the overall energy storage capacity and provides stable current for a long time without external power supply.CN118800978A discloses a rechargeable cement-based battery, which comprises an anode, an electrolyte and a cathode, the electrolyte is provided with an anode and a cathode at both ends, the anode is a galvanized metal iron carbon fiber mesh, the cathode is a galvanized metal nickel carbon fiber mesh, and the electrolyte is a cement-based material; the cement-based material comprises the following components by weight percentage: cement 14.9%-65.0%, conductive material 0.1%-2.8%, fine aggregate 0-71.7%, water reducing agent 0-0.53% and water 21.1-40%; the positive and negative poles of the battery body are formed by electroplating iron and nickel on the carbon fiber mesh, which improves the charging and discharging efficiency of the battery. CN117577964A discloses a rechargeable cement-based battery, which comprises a cement-based electrolyte and metal positive and negative electrodes inserted in the cement-based electrolyte, and part of the metal positive and negative electrodes are exposed to the cement-based electrolyte; or the battery comprises a cement-based positive electrode, a cement-based electrolyte and a cement-based negative electrode which are stacked in sequence; wherein the raw materials of the cement-based electrolyte include Portland cement, water, water-soluble salt and quartz sand. It uses cheap and abundant cement materials to prepare rechargeable cement-based batteries, which has low cost and excellent electrical performance, and can lay the foundation for building structure energy storage, and can be used as an alternative solution to energy crisis. The current cement battery mostly uses the internal porous structure formed by cement solidification to fill electrolyte or add conductive salt gel electrolyte, and this structure needs excellent sealing property during battery charging and discharging to avoid the loss of electrolyte volatilization, which is not conducive to the long-term use of the battery. Although the aeolian sand resources are abundant in the desert, the particle size is too small, the particle size is mostly less than 0.25mm, the gradation is poor and the particle is smooth, the plasticity is poor, which cannot be simply replaced by conventional fillers for energy storage battery, in addition, the solid electrolyte cement energy storage battery also has low ion conductivity, when the carbon material is introduced, the ion conductivity can be improved, but the electronic conductivity is also increased, which may cause local short circuit and certain safety hazard. At present, there is no record of aeolian sand used in energy storage battery, if the aeolian sand can be applied to energy storage battery, not only the harm of desertification can be delayed, but also great economic benefits can be obtained, therefore, relevant technical solutions are needed to fill the research blank of aeolian sand in the field of energy storage.

[0079] Comparative Example 4

[0080] An energy storage battery includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a solid-state electrolyte. The negative electrode sheet is an iron plate with a thickness of 5mm. The solid-state electrolyte includes river sand 50wt%, portland cement 25wt%, aluminum silicate fiber 5wt%, sodium nitrate 10wt%, Na3PS4 5wt%, and NaFePO4 5wt%. The river sand has different particle sizes, with an average particle size of 0.5-3mm.

[0081] The preparation method of the energy storage battery is as follows:

[0082] S1 Preparation of positive electrode sheet: Take active carbon and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose according to a mass ratio of 93:7, and blend them in NMP. After high-speed stirring, a positive electrode slurry is formed. Then the positive electrode slurry is uniformly coated on a copper foil, and after drying, rolling, and cutting, a positive electrode sheet with an active layer thickness of 1mm is obtained.

[0083] S2 Preparation of solid-state electrolyte slurry: Take river sand, portland cement, aluminum silicate fiber, sodium nitrate, Na3PS4, and NaFePO4 according to the proportions. Mix them in a mixing container and dry mix for 40 minutes to obtain a uniformly mixed mixture. Dissolve the sodium salt in water to obtain a 1M sodium salt solution. Add the mixture to the sodium salt solution and stir for 100 minutes until it is evenly dispersed to obtain a slurry.

[0084] S3 Preparation of battery: placing positive electrode sheet and iron plate in front and back of mold respectively, wherein positive active layer is opposite to iron plate; then pouring slurry into mold, shaking and leveling, adjusting distance between positive and negative electrode sheets to 10mm, then placing the shaken and leveled mold in environment with temperature of 25℃ and humidity of 50±5% for 15h; then placing the mold in environment with humidity of 90±5% for 7d to make cement completely hydrated; then drying at 70℃ for 4d and demolding; placing the demolded product in 200℃ for 3h.

[0085] The battery is tested, and the voltage of the energy storage battery is 1.86V, the specific energy is 11.8Wh / Kg, the ionic conductivity is 1.8mS / cm, and the capacity retention rate after 1000h is 76%. After standardizing the battery mass, it is calculated that the capacity of the energy storage battery is about 11Wh.

[0086] From the above test data, it can be seen that the solid-state electrolyte energy storage battery obtained by using aeolian sand, cement, inorganic insulation fiber, sodium salt and additives has high specific energy and ionic conductivity, and the battery has good cycle stability. It can be seen that aeolian sand can be used as electrolyte filler in energy storage battery. The inorganic insulation fiber can effectively improve the stability of the electrolyte, and the electrolyte does not crack or fall off for a long time. However, the amount of aeolian sand cannot be too large, and a large amount of addition will also affect the stability of the solid electrolyte layer. The reason may be that the filler is too much and the solid phase is easy to stratify or precipitate during charging and discharging. It can be seen from the examples and comparative examples 1-2 that aeolian sand can be used in energy storage battery, which will not deteriorate the performance of the battery, and can better control the cost of the battery, and has good economic value. If it can be popularized and used, it can greatly solve the harm caused by desertification and truly turn waste into treasure. It can be seen from comparative example 3 that the performance of the cement battery without using aeolian sand is reduced more obviously. After analysis, it may be that the cement content is high and there is no filler in the electrolyte, the viscosity of the cement slurry is high, and the additives are difficult to disperse uniformly, which greatly reduces the internal ion transmission channel and affects ion transmission. It can be seen from comparative example 4 of river sand that the cement and inorganic fiber system using aeolian sand has high specific energy and ionic conductivity. Analysis may be that the specific system produces sufficient internal pores, providing rich channels for ion transmission.
