The invention relates to an
oxygen-deficient nano material and a
solid-phase melting
zinc thermal reduction preparation method and application thereof,
zinc powder is taken as a
reducing agent, target
metal oxide such as
anatase type TiO2 and
zinc powder are uniformly mixed, then mild high-temperature annealing treatment is carried out in an
inert gas
atmosphere, a product is washed by
dilute acid / alkali, and the
oxygen-deficient TiO2-x nano material is obtained. Similarly,
oxygen deficient SnO2-x, ZrO2-x, and BaTiO3-x materials can be produced by such methods. Compared with the existing technologies of high-temperature
hydrogen reduction, complex structure
carbonization, solvothermal reduction and the like for preparing the oxygen-deficient nano material, the preparation method disclosed by the invention adopts a
solid-phase molten zinc thermal reduction technology, takes environment-friendly and low-cost zinc
powder as a
reducing agent, and prepares the oxygen-deficient nano material by utilizing a
solid-phase molten zinc thermal reduction process at a mild high temperature; the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, no special requirement on production equipment,
processing universality and industrial production compatibility, successfully prepares a series of defect nanometer materials with adjustable oxygen defect concentration, and effectively prolongs the cycle life of the zinc battery by applying the defect nanometer materials to the negative
electrode protection of the
zinc ion battery.
