[0021] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for blending and coating electrolytic manganese dioxide, comprising the following steps: S1: Plasma activation pretreatment of electrolytic manganese dioxide powder; S2: preparing a nano-additive dispersion, wherein the nano-additive dispersion comprises a nano-additive and an anionic surfactant, wherein the nano-additive comprises nano-TiO2, and the anionic surfactant comprises sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium polyacrylate; S3: coating the electrolytic manganese dioxide powder after the plasma activation pretreatment in step S1 with the nano-additive dispersion to obtain a coated material; S4: Dry and sieve the coated material.

[0022] The method for blending and coating electrolytic manganese dioxide of the present invention comprises the following steps: the plasma activation pretreatment described in step S1, which is carried out by plasma treatment in an Ar / O2 mixed atmosphere, can enhance the activity of the surface of the electrolytic manganese dioxide powder, thereby providing more favorable conditions for the subsequent coating of nano-additives. This pretreatment method not only improves the coating efficiency, but also ensures the uniformity and stability of the coating layer. The well-designed nano-additive dispersion liquid preparation process in step S2 ensures the uniform dispersion of nano-TiO2 in the dispersion liquid, which is crucial for the subsequent coating process. The three-stage ultrasonic dispersion further optimizes the dispersion effect of the nano-additive, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the coating layer. The coating process in step S3 adopts a combination of low-speed mixing and high shearing, which not only ensures the full contact of the nano-additive with the electrolytic manganese dioxide powder, but also achieves the uniform coating of the nano-additive on the powder surface. In addition, the coating efficiency and the stability of the coating layer are further improved by adopting zirconium oxide ball milling and the coating process in an N2 atmosphere. The drying and pulverization process in step S4 utilizes advanced fluidized bed drying technology and a supersonic airflow mill, ensuring rapid drying of the coated material and uniformity of the pulverized particles. Furthermore, surface hydrophilic modification by spraying with a dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solution enhances the hydrophilic properties of the electrolytic manganese dioxide, further improving its application as a cathode material for alkaline zinc-manganese batteries.

[0023] Specifically, the plasma activation pretreatment in step S1 is to use radio frequency plasma equipment to feed the raw material electrolytic manganese dioxide powder into the plasma treatment device, close the chamber, and start the vacuum system to pump to a basic vacuum degree of <1×10 -2 Pa, in an Ar / O2 mixed atmosphere (volume ratio of Ar:O2 = 4:1), and with the vacuum system adjusted to maintain a stable chamber operating pressure of 20 Pa, RF plasma is ignited and treated at a power of 50-200 W for 1-5 minutes, preferably 100 W for 3 minutes. This plasma activation pretreatment can enhance the surface activity of the electrolytic manganese dioxide powder, providing more favorable conditions for subsequent coating with nano-additives.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the preparation method of the nano additive dispersion liquid described in step S2 is: nano TiO Premix with deionized water, then add sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium polyacrylate, wherein the volume ratio of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium polyacrylate is 2:1-1:2.Nano TiO Particle diameter is 20-50nm, and the solid content that is scattered in the deionized water is 5-15wt%.Described sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium polyacrylate, consumption 0.01-0.5wt%, have added anionic surfactant in this nano additive, greatly promoted nano TiO Uniformity and stability in dispersion liquid, follow-up is coated in the liquid phase and collaboratively improves dispersion stability and anti-electrolyte interference ability.This step has guaranteed the high dispersibility and stability of nano additive in dispersion liquid.Surfactant reduces interfacial energy, and this dispersion liquid provides ideal nano additive source for follow-up coating process, helps to form uniform and dense coating.

The pH adjusting agent is the one in ammoniacal liquor, NaOH or citric acid. Coating comprises low-speed mixing stage and high-shear stage, and the rotating speed of the low-speed mixing stage is 30-40rpm, and the time is 2-2.5h, is pre-dispersed; The rotating speed of the high-shear stage is 120-150rpm, and the time is 1-1.5h, is forced to coat.

[0027] Furthermore, the low-speed mixing and high-shear stages utilize zirconia ball milling, with a ball-to-material ratio of 1-1.5:1. The zirconia balls consist of 30% large balls with a diameter of 10 mm, 50% medium balls with a diameter of 5 mm, and 20% small balls with a diameter of 3 mm. The diverse ball sizes enhance coating uniformity. The low-speed mixing and high-shear stages are performed in an N2 atmosphere with humidity controlled below 30%. The inert atmosphere prevents oxidation of metal ions.
