The present invention discloses an aqueous
zinc-
ion battery, comprising: a positive
electrode sheet, a negative
electrode sheet and an
electrolyte. The positive
electrode material of the positive electrode sheet is a layered
vanadium-based positive
electrode material. Since cations and water molecules are inserted into the
layers of
vanadium pentoxide, the interlayer spacing is increased and the structure of the
host material is supported and stabilized. Therefore, the fast and reversible
insertion and extraction performance of
charge and discharge ions can be improved, and the
high rate and long cycle life of the layered
vanadium-based positive
electrode material can be achieved. The negative electrode sheet is a
zinc foil with a
surface coating. By defining the thickness of the
surface coating to be 100 nm to 20 μm, the
surface coating can prevent the
zinc foil from directly contacting the
electrolyte, and zinc will be deposited between the
coating and the zinc foil during the
charge and discharge process. In this way, the direct contact between zinc and the
electrolyte is avoided, which helps to solve problems such as dendrites,
corrosion and
hydrogen evolution of the zinc negative electrode. Compared with the traditional aqueous zinc-
ion battery, the electrochemical performance of this aqueous zinc-
ion battery is enhanced.
