Description

High-performance nickel-zinc battery negative electrode active material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy and materials, and particularly relates to a nickel-zinc battery cathode material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, the adjustment of energy structure has highlighted the advantages of clean, convenient, efficient, wide and practical electric energy, and it is very important to utilize a secondary battery with high capacity and excellent cycle performance to realize effective storage, transportation and use of electric energy. The existing secondary battery systems have some problems which are difficult to solve, such as serious pollution of lead-acid batteries and low power and energy density; the nickel-metal hydride battery has low working voltage and expensive hydrogen storage cathode; the organic electrolyte of the lithium battery is inflammable and explosive, and the reserves of lithium and cobalt ore resources are insufficient. In contrast, aqueous zinc ion batteries, such as nickel zinc batteries, have the advantages of high safety factor, high power density, low price, etc., and thus become powerful competitors in the next generation of battery systems. At present, the short plates of the batteries are mainly concentrated on zinc cathode materials, so that the improvement of the performance of the electrodes has important significance for promoting the development and application of the related batteries.
Taking a nickel-zinc battery as an example, the key problems to be solved are mainly focused on the problems of easy dissolution, easy corrosion, poor conductivity and the like of a negative electrode zinc oxide material. As a result, the cycle stability and rate performance of the battery material are directly worried. Taking the commercial zinc oxide material as an example, when the current density is increased from 1A/g to 10A/g, the capacity retention rate is only about 40 percent. Under the current density of 1A/g, the capacity retention rate is only about 30 percent after 100 cycles. The method effectively solves the problems of the cathode and has important significance and value for preparing the high-performance nickel-zinc battery. Related studies have shown that carbon compounding processes are relatively reliable, for example, by introducing carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes or carbon black when preparing negative electrodes. However, although the conductivity and corrosion resistance of such composite materials are improved to some extent, the rate capability and the cycle performance under large current still need to be improved.
The carbon dots, as a novel zero-dimensional carbon nano material, have the characteristics of low price, simple and convenient preparation, good dispersibility, good conductivity, stable chemical property and the like. Relevant researches and the invention show that the carbon dots can play a role in regulating and controlling the microstructure of the zinc oxide electrode material, improving the electronic conductivity, inhibiting self-corrosion and the like. Thereby improving the rate capability and the cycle performance by nearly 30 percent and 50 percent respectively. Compared with the related research results, the invention basically solves the main defects of the traditional zinc oxide electrode material and provides a very powerful support for the development of the nickel-zinc battery.
