The invention provides a
metal particle loaded self-supporting
electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of battery electrodes, the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1,
cutting beech into pieces with the thickness of 5-7mm along the
vertical growth direction, and calcining to obtain carbonized wood pieces; s2,
metal salt is dissolved in the functionalized
aqueous solution, the concentration of the
metal salt is 0.03-0.05 M, and a soaking solution is obtained; the functionalized
aqueous solution comprises dodecyl trimethyl
ammonium chloride,
sodium pyrophosphate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone and water; s3, taking the carbonized wood
chip as a
working electrode, immersing the carbonized wood
chip into the soaking solution, carrying out electro-deposition on a metal precursor, and then cleaning and
drying to obtain a metal-loaded wood
chip; and S4, pyrolyzing the metal-loaded wood chip in a
hydrogen-
argon mixed
atmosphere, then cooling to
room temperature, cleaning and
drying to obtain the metal-loaded wood chip. According to the invention, the
transition metal particles and the carbonized wood chips are better compounded, and more reliable active sites are provided for
bromine electrochemical reaction, so that the overall performance of the
zinc-
bromine battery is improved.
