Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a long-life cement-based battery and its preparation method, belonging to the field of cement-based battery technology. Background Technology
[0002] Guided by the "dual carbon" goal, power plants and equipment for clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower have been built, improved, and put into use. However, solar, wind, and hydropower have different drawbacks due to factors such as season, climate, and geographical location, and excessive power generation capacity can easily overload the power grid system. Therefore, effective energy storage has become one of the key issues for the efficient utilization of clean energy.
[0003] Chemical energy storage batteries are among the most commonly used energy storage devices in the world. They typically employ traditional electrochemical energy storage principles, relying on the chemical reaction between electrodes and electrolytes to store and release energy. Cement-based batteries, as an emerging type of electrochemical energy storage battery, combine cement-based materials (such as concrete) with conductive additives and electrode materials to enable them to perform energy storage. With the development of low-carbon buildings and smart cities, cement-based batteries have become one of the key technologies for "energy storage buildings." Although existing cement-based batteries can achieve building integration, their lifespan is relatively short, making it difficult to meet the energy storage requirements of long-term building structures, thus hindering their commercialization. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for preparing cement-based batteries that can improve lifespan while maintaining structural integration and mechanical performance, which has become a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a long-life cement-based battery and its preparation method.

The reaction vessel was placed in a microwave synthesizer and subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 175-185℃ for 50-70 minutes, and then allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. The microwave hydrothermal products were centrifuged and separated. The separated solids were washed (washed three times alternately with deionized water and ethanol) and dried (dried at 80°C for 12 hours) to obtain precursor powder. The precursor powder was placed in a crucible and then placed in a muffle furnace.

The liquid base material is slowly added to the dry powder mixture and stirred until it is evenly mixed. Then, the nano slurry is added and stirred until it is evenly mixed. Then, 0.035 parts by weight of air-entraining agent (rosin thermal polymer, Jiangsu Subote New Material Co., Ltd., PCA®-1) is added and stirred until it is evenly mixed without particle agglomeration, thus obtaining conductive concrete slurry. b) Casting and Curing: The conductive concrete slurry was poured into the pre-set mold, and the positive electrode cement matrix lower unit and the negative electrode cement matrix lower unit with the specifications of "thickness 2.5cm × width 40cm × length 40cm" were poured respectively.

These units together form the cement matrix. After pouring, the concrete is vibrated to compact it and eliminate internal air bubbles. The formed concrete specimens are then placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment (25℃, >90% RH) for 6 days to ensure full hardening, resulting in positive and negative cement matrix-electrode-current collector assemblies. c) Soaking in potassium hydroxide solution: The cured positive electrode cement matrix-electrode-current collector assembly and negative electrode cement matrix-electrode-current collector assembly were respectively immersed in a 25wt% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution at room temperature for 3 days.

[0028] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the conductive carbon material used in the conductive concrete slurry is a simple blend of flake graphite, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon fiber; that is, the preparation of the nano-slurry in the conductive concrete slurry is as follows: 10.5 parts by mass of deionized water, 2 parts by mass of flake graphite, 1 part by mass of reduced graphene oxide, 1 part by mass of carbon fiber and 0.8 parts by mass of interface modification material (KH550) were stirred and mixed evenly to obtain nano-slurry.
[0029] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that lanthanum cobalt oxide, manganese dioxide, and nano-silica were not added to the conductive concrete slurry.
[0030] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is as follows: 1) The conductive carbon material used in the conductive concrete slurry is a simple blend of flake graphite, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon fiber. 2) No lanthanum cobalt oxide or nano-silica was added to the conductive concrete slurry; 3) The electrolyte is a gel-like electrolyte composed of potassium hydroxide, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and water. Specifically: potassium hydroxide is dissolved in water to obtain a 25wt% KOH aqueous solution. Then, 6 parts by mass of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are slowly added to 94 parts by mass of the 25wt% KOH aqueous solution. The mixture is stirred continuously at room temperature until a uniform gel is formed, thus obtaining a gel-like electrolyte.
[0031] Performance testing: The performance of the cement-based batteries prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested, specifically: 1) Mechanical property testing: The flexural and compressive strengths of the cement matrix were tested according to GB / T 17671-2021 "Test Method for Strength of Cement Mortar"; 2) Electrochemical performance testing: The DC conductivity of the cement matrix was tested using the four-electrode method (ASTM D257); the initial specific capacity and coulombic efficiency of the cement-based cell were tested under the conditions of a current density of 0.5 A / g and a voltage window of 0-1.2 V; and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the cement-based cell was tested in the frequency range of 0.01 Hz-100 kHz. 3) Electrochemical stability test: The cement-based battery was tested for long-cycle performance by constant current charge-discharge cycles of 1000 times; and its self-discharge rate was tested by measuring voltage decay after 7 days of open-circuit storage. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0032] Table 1 Performance test data of cement-based batteries in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0033] As shown in Table 1, the cement-based batteries prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention exhibit better compressive strength, flexural strength, conductivity, initial specific capacity, coulombic efficiency, capacity retention after 1000 cycles, and self-discharge rate compared to the cement-based batteries in Comparative Examples 1-3. This indicates that the cement-based batteries prepared in these examples, compared to the cement-based batteries in the comparative examples, possess better mechanical and electrochemical performance, as well as better chemical stability and a longer service life. This is because: 1) The composite conductive carbon material used in Examples 1-3 has a three-level structure of graphite core-mGO shell-CF bridge, compared to the conductive carbon material system formed by simply blending graphite, graphene, and carbon fiber in the comparative examples: The mGO coating improves the interfacial compatibility between graphite and cement matrix, and the carbon fiber bridging forms a three-dimensional conductive network, which enhances the overall conductivity and mechanical strength of the battery, thereby effectively improving the mechanical and electrochemical performance of cement-based batteries. In composite conductive carbon materials, the mGO shell is modified by silanization and amino-containing water-reducing agents. On the one hand, it tightly coats the hydrophobic flake graphite surface through π-π stacking and van der Waals forces to form a stable "shell". On the other hand, it can interact strongly with calcium ions and other substances in cement hydration products, and even chemically bond with them. CF can connect and bridge isolated graphite@mGO core-shell particles in series, forming a macroscopic conductive framework that runs through the entire cement matrix. This makes the overall structure of the composite conductive carbon material stable, providing a stable electronic pathway and a uniform current / potential distribution. It can effectively prevent the initiation and propagation of microcracks in the cement matrix, better withstand electrochemical strain during charging and discharging, and physical stress caused by changes in environmental temperature and humidity, maintain structural integrity, effectively slow down interface corrosion, and thus effectively improve the service life of cement-based batteries. 2) In Examples 1-3, lanthanum cobalt oxide, manganese dioxide, and nano-silica were added simultaneously. Lanthanum cobalt oxide and manganese dioxide have a synergistic effect. Lanthanum cobalt oxide acts as a catalyst to enhance the electrochemical reaction activity of the battery, manganese dioxide provides pseudocapacitance to enhance the specific capacity of the battery, and nano-silica can fill the pores to improve the density and durability of the battery, thereby effectively improving the mechanical properties, electrochemical properties and service life of cement-based batteries. 3) The electrolyte used in Examples 1-3 is composed of "PVA, CMC, KOH, potassium silicate, coupling agent, boric acid, lithium nitrate, and water". Compared with the electrolyte composed of "CMC / KOH and water" in the comparative example, the PVA / CMC / KOH / potassium silicate system can form a stable ion channel, the coupling agent can enhance the binding between the electrolyte and the electrode interface, and the boric acid and lithium nitrate can improve the ion mobility and stability, thereby effectively improving the mechanical properties, electrochemical performance and service life of cement-based batteries.
