Description

A kind of economic benefits and social benefits air electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the battery technology field, is structure and the preparation method of a kind of storage hydrogen-air secondary battery with novel economic benefits and social benefits air (oxygen) electrode.
Background technology
Small-sized MH-Ni battery has long charge and discharge circulation life, and memory-less effect particularly uses low active material, the eco-friendly advantage polluted, and promptly development is swift and violent since coming out, and by 1994, it accounted for 20% of global small-sized secondary batteries market share.In recent years, the fast development of small-sized mobile electronic equipment requires secondary cell to have higher capacity but only requires medium or lower power.The energy density that further increases secondary cell is one of emphasis of research at present to adapt to this new requirement.Fuel cell (FC) is with its zero discharge, high-energy-density, high-efficiency characteristics and the powerful competitiveness on the electric powered motor power supply thereof and become the research focus of energy field in recent years.The MH-air secondary battery is to have absorbed the characteristics of above-mentioned two kinds of batteries and advantage and a kind of novel battery of developing, is causing researcher's very big concern in recent years.In this battery, adopt the gaseous diffusion air electrode of light weight to replace heavier nickel (Ni) electrode, can make the unit mass energy density of battery improve 20%, and possess the high efficiency of fuel cell.But thing followed problem is, the gaseous diffusion air electrode generally contains carbon composite, and carbon will be oxidized in charging process.
In the previous research, adopt the method for third electrode to overcome this problem.At document Lampinen M, Viitanen M, Lamminen J and Fomino M, [P] .US:5645952,1997[1], PongT C, [P] .US:6332899B1,2001[2], Tetsuya K, Tetsuo S, NobuhiroK and Hitoshi U, [P] .JP:07272771A2,1995[4], Sakai T, Iwaki T, Ye Z and Noreus D, [J] .J Electrochem Soc, 1995,142:4040-4045[5] in, match with hydrogen storage electrode when the charging as third electrode with the wire netting that increases and to play a role.And its oxygen (air) electrode adopts the rolling depression method preparation, only carries out oxygen reduction reaction when discharge, and promptly it does not possess the effect of economic benefits and social benefits electrode.Yet the weight of the third electrode of increase has been subdued the high-energy-density advantage that air electrode brought of light weight.On the contrary, employing can be carried out the economic benefits and social benefits air electrode with stability of hydrogen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction then can eliminate third electrode, thereby obtains energy needed density.Therefore, the exploitation of economic benefits and social benefits air electrode is the research emphasis of present this kind battery.
