Background technology
Development of modern science and technology, energy scarcity and the pay attention to day by day of environmental protection required high-energy-density, cheap and aboundresources, safe in utilization, eco-friendly chargeable battery.Aluminum cell is one of the highest battery of energy density, and environment is not polluted, and raw materials used aboundresources, cheap, safe in utilization meets the direction that battery develops.Metallic aluminium is a kind of high-energy carrier as GND, and theoretical specific capacity is 2980mAh/g, is only second to lithium (3870mAh/g); And its volume and capacity ratio is 8050mAh/cm
3, be 4 times of lithium, be higher than other all metal materials, its oxidation-reduction potential is also very low to be-2.35V (vs SHE), is desirable cell negative electrode material.
An aluminum cell that with the aqueous electrolyte is electrolyte is once by extensive concern.The theoretical energy density of aluminium-air cell can reach 8100Wh/Kg, but actual energy density has only 350Wh/kg.This is because a lot of problems that the aluminium electrode can produce in aqueous electrolyte: very strong affinity is arranged between (1) aluminium alloy and the oxygen; In the air and the aqueous solution; The surface generates the fine and close passive oxidation film of one deck; Make the electrode potential of aluminium in neutral solution not reach due theoretical electrode potential, the real work current potential of aluminium is more much lower than theoretical value, the voltage delay phenomenon when also causing discharge simultaneously.(2) aluminium is typical amphoteric metal, and activity is higher, is prone to and acid, alkali effect, oxide-film is destroyed, and in a single day oxide-film is destroyed and will be corroded rapidly, makes the utilance of electrode low, and wet poor storage performance.(3) aluminium is bigger from corrosion in alkaline solution, and serious evolving hydrogen reaction takes place easy and medium, has reduced the utilance of electrode, influences the operate as normal of battery.(4) in the alkaline medium, aluminium anodes becomes stream reaction and corrosion reaction product to be gluey Al (OH)
3, not only reduce electrolytic conductivity but also increase the aluminium anodes polarization, make the aluminum cell mis-behave.(5) need heat-exchange system to get rid of the dissolving of aluminium in alkaline solution and a large amount of heat of corrosion generation.
In addition, because the reduction potential of aluminium is more negative than hydrogen, can not be at aqueous solution electrodeposition aluminium.Therefore, using the reduction of can't charging of the aluminum cell of aqueous electrolyte, can only be primary cell.
As the positive electrode of secondary cell, conducting polymers such as the polymer of main chain conjugation such as polyaniline, polythiophene, polypyrrole, polyphenyl once received extensive studies and exploitation.Conducting polymer is used as positive electrode active materials and makes positive pole with the assembling lithium secondary battery, utilizes anionic doping/dedoping process to realize energy storage.Wherein, the theoretical specific capacity of polythiophene can reach 280Ah/Kg, the about 60-100Ah/Kg of actual discharge specific capacity.Polythiophene is that specific capacity is low excessively as the shortcoming of positive electrode, and traditional lithium one polythiophene chargeable battery commercialization once because of its energy density is too low, is withdrawn from the market after the lithium ion battery listing.
