The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a
zinc-
bromine flow battery positive
electrode material, and belongs to the field of
zinc-
bromine flow batteries. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving
aniline and a dithio compound in an acidic ice bath, dropwise adding a peroxy strong oxidant to generate a
polyaniline-
disulfide bond copolymer, dialyzing, and freeze-
drying to obtain
powder; then heating soluble silver salt, a
reducing agent, a hydrophilic dispersing agent and an organic sulfydryl
silane coupling agent to prepare functionalized nano-
silver particles; the
powder and nano-
silver particles are dispersed in N-methyl pyrrolidone for ultrasonic treatment, and dynamic self-repairing
coating slurry is prepared; and performing acid pretreatment on the carbon
fiber paper, and performing electrochemical deposition on the
slurry to prepare the
zinc-
bromine battery positive
electrode material. According to the zinc-bromine battery positive
electrode material, the coulombic efficiency and the
voltage efficiency of a zinc-bromine
flow battery are remarkably improved and the cycle life of the zinc-bromine
flow battery is remarkably prolonged through methods of dynamic covalent bonds, nano-silver
catalysis, a hierarchical pore structure, carbon
fiber pretreatment and the like, and the zinc-bromine flow battery positive
electrode material has
chemical stability, efficient bromine adsorption capacity and excellent catalytic activity.
