Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of zinc ion battery materials and technologies, and in particular relates to an integrated zinc ion battery based on a curled nanofiber-based gel electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The development of portable and multifunctional wearable and implantable electronic devices has become a key trend in the pursuit of a versatile and lightweight future smart lifestyle. This requires lightweight, safe, and high-performance power sources. Zinc-ion batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their safety, ease of processing, and cost-effectiveness, offering a wide range of electrolyte and separator options. However, conventional energy storage devices employ a sandwich structure consisting of a cathode, separator, and anode, which exhibits poor mechanical properties and a significant performance degradation upon deformation. Furthermore, electrolyte leakage can affect the cycling performance of zinc-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes when subjected to various mechanical deformations. Developing energy storage devices with optimal performance and optimal configurations is a significant challenge. Currently, the solid-liquid interface is gradually transforming into a solid-solid interface, which not only addresses these challenges but also provides innovative approaches for flexible integrated batteries. This novel integrated structure integrates all battery components together, ensuring integrity under various bending conditions by preventing relative slippage and separation between the integrated layers. Therefore, integrated energy storage devices have the potential to meet the requirements of wearable devices and related applications.

[0003] In recent years, more and more scholars have begun to study integrated structures and have shown great potential in wearable and stretchable electronic products. For example, Zhang et al. formed an integrated zinc ion battery by fully freezing-casting a reduced graphene oxide / polyaniline cathode, a cellulose nanofiber separator, and an exfoliated graphene / Zn anode to accelerate the transmission of zinc ions (Y Zhang, Q. Wang, S. Bi, NANOSCALE 11 (2019) 17630-17636). In addition, it has been found that the use of an excellent self-supporting flexible membrane structure based on electrospinning nanofibers provides another effective method for constructing flexible integrated batteries (MHTai, P. Gao, BYLTan, ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 6 (2014) 9393-9401). For example: Shao et al. designed a “paper-like” zinc ion battery with an integrated structure, which prepares polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane as a battery separator by electrospinning technology, and performs in situ deposition of negative electrode Zn nanosheets and positive electrode manganese dioxide nanosheets on the separator, avoiding the relative sliding and separation of the integrated layer, ensuring the formation of monomers in different bending states (Z.Shao, S.Cheng, YZhang, H.Guo, ACS Appl.Mater.Inter 13 (2021) 34349-34356). Although the electrolytes prepared by the above method all show a certain degree of flexibility, in practical applications, there are more prominent problems at the interface between the electrode and the solid electrolyte. Specifically manifested in that the reaction kinetics at the interface are slow, and the interfacial compatibility of the two is poor. The combined effect of these factors makes the conduction of zinc ions therein hindered, and the conductivity is at a low level. In addition, the mechanical strength of the above-mentioned electrolyte itself is insufficient, and a series of problems such as the cumbersome and complicated assembly process have seriously restricted the process of realizing large-scale industrial production of integrated zinc ion batteries.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides an integrated zinc-ion battery based on curled nanofiber-based gel electrolyte. The uniform pore size and high porosity of the curled nanofibers can better combine with the gel electrolyte to enhance the overall mechanical properties. The integrated structure can effectively alleviate the interface contact problem and improve the battery ion transmission rate, providing a direction for the development of high-performance wearable flexible integrated zinc-ion batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of poor interface contact and low ionic conductivity in traditional zinc-ion batteries, and to provide an integrated preparation method for a flexible gel-state zinc-ion battery reinforced with curled nanofibers. This method uses a specially made rough plate as a receiving substrate to prepare a polyisophthalamide@polyurethane curled nanofiber membrane, the pores of which can promote the infiltration of gel electrolytes and thus improve ionic conductivity; the combination of nanofibers and hydrogel electrolytes can significantly enhance mechanical strength; and the curled structure can alleviate the mechanical stress generated by the battery during the reaction process. The positive and negative electrodes are located on both sides of the gel electrolyte by in-situ coating. Due to the strong viscosity of the gel electrolyte, the electrolyte and electrodes can be bonded together to form an integrated structure. This unique integrated structure prevents relative displacement or separation between adjacent components, and ensures continuous and effective ion transfer capabilities inside even if the battery surface is deformed, so that the device has excellent structural design and stable electrochemical performance.

[0012] (5) Loading of negative electrode materials: Zinc powder with a particle size of 3-5 μm and carbon nanotubes were ultrasonically dispersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at a mass ratio of 10-20:1. The dispersion was concentrated by solvent evaporation to obtain a slurry. The slurry was in situ coated on the other side of the curled nanofiber-based gel electrolyte layer using a doctor blade method and dried as the negative electrode material;

[0013] (6) Packaging: Attach polyethylene terephthalate film, polyimide film or aluminum foil to both sides of the positive and negative electrodes and package them by hot pressing. The heat sealing temperature is 110-130°C, the pressure is 0.3-0.8 MPa, and the time is 10-30 seconds to obtain an integrated zinc ion battery with a curled nanofiber-based gel electrolyte.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and benefits:

[0018] The present invention successfully completes the preparation of the curled fiber membrane by using only a specially made rough plate as an auxiliary tool. This simple and efficient preparation method opens up a new path for the controllable, large-scale preparation of curled fiber membranes. The combination of the curled nanofiber membrane and the gel electrolyte significantly improves the mechanical strength and ion transfer rate of the electrolyte, increasing the possibility of high-performance zinc-ion batteries. Both the fiber membrane and the gel have good stretchability and elasticity, which can effectively alleviate the mechanical stress generated during the battery reaction and improve the cycle life of the zinc-ion battery. The unique integrated structure prevents relative displacement or separation between adjacent components, ensuring continuous and effective ion transfer capacity within the battery even if the battery surface is deformed, thus giving the device an excellent structural design and stable electrochemical performance.

[0052] The mechanical properties of the integrated gel electrolytes constructed in Examples 1 to 3 were tested. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that compared with pure gel electrolyte, the nanofiber membrane-based reinforced gel electrolyte has better mechanical strength, and the curled nanofiber-reinforced gel electrolyte has better tensile properties than the conventional nanofiber-reinforced gel electrolyte, thereby improving the overall flexibility of the integrated battery.

[0053] The zinc ion batteries constructed in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were tested for ionic conductivity and impedance. Figures 4-5 As shown. It can be seen that long-range continuous nanofibers can provide additional ion transport channels, playing an important role in improving the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte batteries. At the same time, compared with ordinary nanofibers, curly fibers have a uniform pore structure and a larger porosity, which is conducive to the uniform compounding of the gel and accelerates the transmission rate of zinc ions, thereby significantly improving the ionic conductivity. In addition, the integrated structure has better interface contact than conventional assembled batteries, which can effectively increase the charge transfer channel, reduce impedance, and ultimately show better cycle stability.
