The application discloses a
zinc-
selenium battery based on
electrolyte-
cathode-diaphragm synergistic regulation and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
zinc ion battery materials. The
zinc-
selenium battery comprises a zinc negative
electrode, a
selenium-loaded
graphene aerogel cathode, an oxidized
graphene modified diaphragm and an
ionic liquid electrolyte. The
ionic liquid electrolyte is prepared by Lewis acid-base reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methyl
imidazole chloride salt and zinc
chloride; the
cathode is prepared by loading selenium on
graphene aerogel formed by reduction, freeze-
drying and
calcination of oxidized graphene; and the diaphragm is prepared by suction
filtration of an oxidized graphene layer on the surface of a
glass fiber diaphragm, and the
coated surface faces the cathode. The application eliminates water molecules by using the
ionic liquid electrolyte to broaden the
electrochemical window and inhibit the zinc negative
electrode side reaction, improves the
conductivity by using the graphene
aerogel cathode to activate the six-
electron transfer reaction, and inhibits the shuttle effect by using the oxidized graphene modified diaphragm to adsorb polyselenides. The battery has an initial capacity of 752 mAh g ‑1 at a
current density of 1 A g ‑1 , and still maintains a capacity of 534 mAh g ‑1 after 228 cycles, with a capacity
retention rate of 71%. The application has a simple preparation process, low cost, excellent electrochemical performance and good application prospect.
