The invention discloses an aqueous
zinc ion battery electrolyte, a preparation method and an aqueous
zinc ion battery thereof, and belongs to the technical field of aqueous
zinc ion batteries. The aqueous
zinc ion battery electrolyte comprises deionized water, soluble zinc salt and an additive
ammonium tartrate.
Tartaric acid anions can be preferentially adsorbed on the surface of zinc to drive
ammonium radicals to form a double-layer structure so as to block contact between zinc and water. In addition, anions and cations form an acid-base buffer pair, the pH of the
electrolyte can be adjusted, meanwhile, a
zinc ion solvation structure is optimized, and a stable
hydrogen bond network is constructed to maintain the stability of the
electrolyte. Therefore, when the aqueous
zinc ion battery electrolyte is applied to a battery, a dendritic
crystal phenomenon caused by
hydrogen evolution,
corrosion and non-uniform zinc
ion deposition of a zinc negative
electrode in the
electrolyte can be effectively inhibited, the cycle life of the battery is prolonged, and the coulombic efficiency and the high-temperature stability of the battery are improved.
