Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of positive electrode materials for alkaline secondary batteries, and more specifically, relates to a low-cost positive electrode material for alkaline secondary batteries, a method for manufacturing the same, and its applications. [Background technology]
[0002] Zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries have advantages over other batteries, such as lower cost, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity, and superior safety, and have the potential for widespread use in energy storage and consumer markets. MnO2 is a metal oxide and semiconductor material, and is a commonly used positive electrode material in primary dry batteries. In zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries, the MnO2 positive electrode has low conductivity (conductivity of 10⁻¹⁰). -5 ~10 -6 S·cm -1 Problems such as poor structural stability significantly limit the widespread use of zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries. MnO2 exhibits large volume expansion and contraction during the charge-discharge process and readily generates electrochemically inert low-valence manganese oxides, such as Mn3O4, which disrupt the structure of the positive electrode material, reduce the amount of active material, and thereby affect the electrochemical performance of the battery. Consequently, the capacity performance, rate performance, and cycle stability performance of zinc-manganese alkaline secondary batteries still struggle to meet the needs of practical applications.
[0003] The zinc-manganese secondary battery mainly consists of several main parts such as a positive electrode, a separator, an electrolyte, and a negative electrode. Among them, the research on the positive electrode focuses on the development of new positive electrode materials and the modification of manganese dioxide materials. The modified MnO2 obtained by physical doping, chemical doping, and electrochemical deposition doping has greatly improved its chargeability. In addition, MnO2 in various crystal forms has also obtained a certain improvement in its reversibility after modification. However, the rechargeable zinc-manganese secondary battery is still limited by the disadvantage of poor cycle stability in actual applications. Therefore, the development of new positive electrode materials is still the key to the technological progress of the zinc-manganese secondary battery.

[0064] Table 1 Battery charge / discharge performance test [Table 1]
[0065] As can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 4 of the above test results, the composite cathode material manufactured according to the present invention has good cycle stability performance and a high discharge voltage platform. The improvement in cycle stability performance is mainly due to the modification effect of the layered hydroxide material on the lattice structure of the MnO2 cathode material, in particular the presence of a large amount of beneficial metal elements and the nanolayered structural form, which greatly reduces the deformation of the cathode during the reaction process, suppresses the generation of inert and irreversible substances, and thereby improves the reversible charge and discharge performance of the cathode during the charge and discharge process. By doping with different excellent cathode additives and improving the properties of the MnO2 electrode, the cycle stability of the cathode can be improved. At the same time, by using sodium hexafluoroantimonate, an effective electrolyte additive, the overall electrical performance of the battery can be improved, which is advantageous for improving the battery's discharge platform and capacity.
