The application belongs to the technical field of electrochemical cells, and particularly relates to a water-based
crown ether electrolyte capable of chelating stannous ions and a preparation and application thereof. The
electrolyte comprises deionized water, acid, soluble stannous salt and
crown ether with a specific
internal cavity size. The application introduces
crown ether as a functional additive in a conventional acidic stannous salt
electrolyte, chelates stannous ions through the specific
internal cavity size, the special chemical confinement effect can regulate the
nucleation kinetics of stannous ions, induce uniform
tin deposition, prevent the formation of large
tin particles and "dead
tin", and further improve the deposition /
dissolution reversibility of the tin negative
electrode. The double-deposition type tin-
manganese full
cell assembled by using the electrolyte has a high
discharge platform of 1.68 V and a long cycle stability of more than 300 cycles. The preparation method of the electrolyte is simple, the H-type double-deposition type tin-
manganese full
cell has low requirements on equipment conditions, raw materials are abundant, the production cost is low, and the application has a large practical application prospect.
