This invention discloses a
zinc-
iodine battery and an
electrode carrier that can simultaneously suppress polyiodine
ion shuttle and regulate
zinc deposition behavior, wherein the
electrode carrier is Cu. + Coordinated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (Cu-PEDOT), via a solvothermal method, to convert Cu... + It was prepared by coordinating with S atoms in the PEDOT framework. I₂ was loaded onto this support as the positive
electrode, and Zn was electrochemically deposited as the negative electrode to assemble a battery. The atomically monodisperse Cu in this invention... + It not only enhances the
chemisorption of polyiodides as a Lewis
active site, but also significantly reduces I... ‑ / I 0 Conversion energy barrier, accelerates reaction
kinetics and suppresses shuttle effect; at the same time, Cu + The
zinc-affinity property of the substrate reduces the Zn
nucleation overpotential, guides Zn to deposit uniformly along the (002)
crystal plane, and suppresses dendrites.
Zinc-
iodine batteries based on this substrate exhibit excellent rate performance and ultra-long cycle stability, and achieve
dendrite-free negative electrode growth even under high depth-of-
discharge conditions. This invention solves the problem of simultaneous multi-
iodide shuttle in the positive electrode and zinc
dendrite growth in the negative electrode using a single substrate, significantly improving the
energy density and cycle life of the battery.
