Description

Positive current collector for improving stability of liquid metal battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a positive current collector for improving the stability of a liquid metal battery.
Background
The liquid metal battery is a three-layer battery structure which takes two liquid metals (alloys) with larger electronegativity difference as electrode materials and molten inorganic salt as electrolyte (the working temperature is 200-700 ℃), and self-assembles into a positive liquid metal with an upper layer as a negative liquid metal, an intermediate layer as an electrolyte and a lower layer as a negative liquid metal by utilizing the density difference and the immiscible property between the positive liquid metal and the negative liquid metal and the electrolyte. The liquid metal battery has a series of advantages of good rate performance, ultra-long cycle service life, high coulombic efficiency, high energy efficiency and the like due to the characteristics of the all-liquid battery and high working temperature, so that the liquid metal battery has wide application prospect in the field of distributed power grid energy storage, and is expected to become an efficient distributed power grid energy storage technology.
However, the metal activity of the anode of the liquid metal battery is high, and the anode is easy to generate alloying reaction with a conventional metal current collector; this phenomenon not only causes corrosion of the positive current collector and reduces the service life of the battery, but also consumes the positive metal, resulting in a decrease in the battery capacity. In order to solve the above technical problems, the current solution is to add a graphite lining in the positive current collector to prevent the positive metal from directly contacting the metal current collector. However, the introduction of the graphite lining tends to cause the interface between the positive electrode liquid metal and the molten salt to be in an upwardly convex "arch" shape under the action of interfacial tension. The nonuniformity of the interface shape of the positive electrode causes the nonuniform distribution of the interface current density, the bulge of the metal interface of the positive electrode is closest to the metal of the negative electrode, the current density at the bulge is the largest when the metal interface of the positive electrode is discharged, the solid alloy layer is preferentially generated at the bulge, the solid alloy layer at the bulge accumulates a little bit along with the continuous charging and discharging, so the operation of the battery is unstable, and when the alloy layer at the bulge accumulates to a certain height, the alloy layer can be contacted with the negative electrode, so the short. Particularly, in the amplification process of the single battery, the area of the positive electrode interface is increased, the unevenness and instability of the interface are more prominent, and the short-circuit risk of the battery is greater. Limited by the above technical problems, the Li-Sb-Sn liquid metal battery cell is enlarged to 100Ah (the positive electrode interface area is 100 cm)2) The problem of serious unstable operation occurs in time, and the short circuit phenomenon occurs after continuous cyclic charge and discharge; in addition, the molten salt can permeate downwards along the interface of the liquid metal and the graphite, so that the contact area of the anode metal and the graphite is reduced, and the conductivity of the system is further reduced.
