The application belongs to the technical field of aqueous secondary
battery electrolyte, and discloses a
phosphonium salt
electrolyte for aqueous
zinc ion battery, application of the
electrolyte, and a battery containing the
electrolyte. The application provides a
phosphonium salt electrolyte, which contains
phosphonium salt as an additive. In the electrolyte, the
phosphonium salt is used as an additive. By introducing the
phosphonium salt into the electrolyte, the
electrode / electrolyte interface structure can be controlled, the
zinc negative
electrode interface process can be improved, more uniform
nucleation and deposition can be promoted, local growth and
dendrite tendency can be reduced,
dendrite growth can be inhibited,
hydrogen evolution
corrosion and by-product deposition can be significantly inhibited, the
zinc negative
electrode deposition / stripping reversibility can be improved, the multi-
iodide shuttle can be inhibited, the
iodine positive electrode conversion process can be stabilized,
zinc ion transmission and positive electrode electrochemical reaction
kinetics can be promoted, and thus the cycle life, coulombic efficiency, rate performance and full battery stability of the battery can be improved. The electrolyte is simple to prepare and easy to connect with the existing aqueous battery manufacturing process.
