Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of positive electrode materials for alkaline secondary batteries, and more particularly to a low-cost positive electrode material for alkaline secondary batteries, a manufacturing method thereof, and applications thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Compared to other batteries, zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries have advantages such as low cost, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity, and excellent safety, and are expected to be widely used in the energy storage and consumer market fields. MnO2 is a metal oxide and a semiconductor material, and is a cathode material commonly used in primary dry batteries. In zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries, the MnO2 cathode has low conductivity (conductivity of 10 -5 ~10 -6 S cm -1 ), poor structural stability, and other problems severely limit the widespread use of zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries. MnO2 undergoes large volume expansion and contraction during charging and discharging and is prone to producing electrochemically inactive low-valent manganese oxides, such as Mn3O4, which destroy the structure of the positive electrode material, reduce the amount of active material, and thereby affect the electrochemical performance of the battery. Therefore, the capacity performance, rate performance, and cycle stability of zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries still do not meet the needs of practical applications.
[0003] Zinc-manganese secondary batteries consist of several main components, including a positive electrode, separator, electrolyte, and negative electrode. Research on the positive electrode has focused on the development of new positive electrode materials and the modification of manganese dioxide materials. Modified MnO2, obtained through physical doping, chemical doping, and electrochemical deposition doping, has significantly improved its rechargeability. Furthermore, the reversibility of various crystalline forms of MnO2 has also been improved to a certain extent after modification. However, rechargeable zinc-manganese secondary batteries are still limited by poor cycle stability in practical applications. Therefore, the development of new positive electrode materials remains the key to technological advancement of zinc-manganese secondary batteries.

[0060] Assembly of batteries in Examples 1 to 12: The manufactured positive electrode plate and a conventional zinc negative electrode plate were placed in a specially made mock battery case with a separator dedicated to zinc-nickel batteries between them, and an electrolyte (a 6 mol / L KOH solution containing saturated zinc oxide and 0.2% sodium hexafluoroantimonate) was poured in to assemble a semi-sealed zinc-manganese secondary battery.
[0061] (Comparative Example 1)
[0062] Commercially available manganese dioxide was used as the active material. Positive electrode plate preparation: 0.4 g of manganese dioxide and 0.1 g of superconducting carbon black were ground in an agate mortar for 20 minutes and then uniformly mixed. Next, 0.05 g of a 2.5% CMC solution and 0.05 g of a 60% PTFE aqueous solution were added and uniformly mixed to produce a positive electrode slurry. This slurry was applied to a nickel foam using a slurry mold, dried in vacuum at 60°C for 12 hours, and then pressed at 12 MPa for 10 seconds to produce a positive electrode plate. The resulting positive electrode plate and a conventional zinc negative electrode plate were placed in a specially designed battery case with a separator designed for zinc-nickel batteries between them.

[0063] Battery performance test: The zinc-manganese secondary batteries prepared in Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Example 1 were activated at 0.2 C, and then tested for capacity performance and cycle stability. After charging at 0.2 C, the batteries were left for 10 minutes, then left at 0.2 C until the voltage reached 1.0 V, and the capacity performance of the positive electrode material was measured after 150 cycles. The test results for the electrical performance of the zinc-manganese secondary batteries are shown in Table 1.
[0064] Table 1 Battery charge / discharge performance test [Table 1]
[0065] As can be seen from the above test results in Table 1 and Figure 4, the composite positive electrode material prepared according to the present invention has good cycle stability and a high discharge voltage platform. The improved cycle stability is primarily due to the modifying effect of the layered hydroxide material on the structural lattice of the MnO2 positive electrode material, particularly the presence of a large amount of beneficial metal elements and the nanolayered structure. This significantly reduces the deformation of the positive electrode during the reaction process and suppresses the generation of inactive irreversible materials, thereby improving the reversible charge-discharge performance of the positive electrode during the charge-discharge process. By doping with different excellent positive electrode additives and improving the properties of the MnO2 electrode, the cycle stability of the positive electrode can be improved. At the same time, the use of an effective electrolyte additive, sodium hexafluoroantimonate, can improve the overall electrical performance of the battery, favoring the improvement of the discharge platform and capacity of the battery.

[0093] As can be seen from the above test results in Table 2 and Figure 7, the composite positive electrode material prepared according to the present invention has good cycle stability and a high discharge voltage platform. The improved cycle stability is primarily due to the modification effect of the layered hydroxide on the lattice structure of the MnO2 positive electrode material, particularly the presence of a large amount of beneficial metal elements and the nanolayered structure. This significantly reduces the deformation of the positive electrode during the reaction process and suppresses the generation of inactive irreversible materials, thereby improving the reversible charge-discharge performance of the positive electrode during the charge-discharge process. By doping with different excellent additives and improving the properties of the MnO2 electrode, the cycle stability of the positive electrode can be improved. At the same time, the use of an effective electrolyte additive, sodium hexafluoroantimonate, can improve the overall electrical performance of the battery, favoring the improvement of the discharge platform and capacity of the battery.
