Description

Electrolyte of high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of zinc-nickel batteries, in particular to an electrolyte of a zinc-nickel battery with high specific energy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, the market in the field of domestic lead-acid storage batteries is applied to power supplies for automobile starting, communication and the like, the lead-acid storage batteries have obvious competitiveness, but with the research and development and application of new secondary power supplies (such as lithium batteries) in recent years, the lead-acid storage batteries have the defects of low specific energy density, low utilization rate of active substances, poor high-rate discharge performance, short cycle life and the like, and particularly, the fully hybrid plug-in hybrid vehicles provide more strict standards for the energy of the batteries and become the largest restriction factor entering the electric automobile market.
Compared with lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries, the zinc-nickel batteries have obvious advantages in the aspects of specific energy, environmental protection and the like, and compared with lithium batteries, the zinc-nickel batteries have outstanding use safety, low-temperature performance, recyclability and cost performance, so that the research and development of the series of batteries have great attraction, and particularly, the battery capacity attenuation is less during heavy current discharge, and the zinc-nickel batteries are secondary batteries capable of being recycled. But the limited cycle times are the biggest obstacles to the development of high specific energy iron batteries.
Chinese patent literature discloses 'electrolyte for rechargeable zinc-nickel battery, zinc-nickel battery and preparation method thereof', the application publication number of which is CN105304946A, the electrolyte for zinc-nickel battery of the invention can greatly reduce the dissolution of zinc electrode, greatly improve the cycle performance of zinc-nickel battery, and the cycle performance of zinc-nickel battery using the electrolyte for zinc-nickel battery of the invention exceeds 1000 times. However, in the zinc-nickel battery of the invention, the problems of deformation, passivation, dendrite and the like of the zinc electrode caused by self-dissolution of the zinc electrode in the circulation process of the zinc electrode further cause the consistency problem of the battery.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides the electrolyte of the high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery, aiming at overcoming the problems of deformation, passivation and dendrite of a zinc electrode caused by softening and dropping of an active substance of the positive electrode of the conventional high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery and self-dissolution of the zinc electrode in the circulating process, and realizing the improvement of the cycle life of the high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the electrolyte of the high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery, which has simple steps, has no special requirements on equipment and is easy to industrialize.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the electrolyte of the high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 15-35% of alkali, 1.5-3.5% of additive, 1-4% of silica sol and the balance of water.
Because the electrolyte in the zinc-nickel battery is dissolved with more zinc oxide, the electrolyte is easily inconsistent in concentration after being saturated by zincate, namely, the concentration of the zincate in the electrolyte at the bottom layer is higher, and the top is lower. Therefore, in the discharging process, the active substance on the top of the pole piece is easier to react, and after repeated charging and discharging, the active substance is easy to deposit on the middle lower part of the pole piece, so that the zinc negative pole is deformed.
The invention creatively adds silica sol into the electrolyte, and the adopted colloid forms a three-dimensional network structure by utilizing surface hydroxyl under the bridging action of zincate, thereby fixing the electrolyte and converting the electrolyte from a liquid state to a gel state. The silicasol colloid electrolyte can effectively prevent zincate layering, so that the battery is stable in charging and discharging: the starting performance and the deep discharge resistance are well improved; but also inhibits the growth of crystals and prolongs the cycle life of the battery. Alkali liquor is added to replace simple substances and the like which are adsorbed on the surfaces of the particles, so that the particles are prevented from growing and coalescing, the utilization rate of electrode active substances is improved, the simple substances can also prevent electrode expansion, the reversibility of electrode reaction is improved, oxygen evolution polarization in the electrode charging process is enhanced, the cycle life of the electrode is prolonged, and the like.
Preferably, the base is selected from KOH, NaOH, LiOH, Mg (OH)2、Al(OH)2、Ca(OH)2One or more of them.
The electrolyte concentration is too high, the conductivity is good, the utilization rate of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is easily improved, the self-corrosion behavior of the zinc electrode can be increased, if the electrolyte concentration is too low, the dissolution process of zinc oxide can be reduced, but the conductivity of the electrolyte is poor, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode cannot fully react, the electrolyte concentration is reduced, in order to ensure that the positive electrode and the negative electrode fully react, the ion electrolysis degree of the electrolyte is increased by adding other alkali liquor, and the utilization rate of the electrolyte is improved.
Preferably, the additive is zinc oxide or lead oxide.
Preferably, the colloidal particles of the silica sol have a particle diameter of 10 to 20 nm. The surface hydroxyl of the silica sol colloid in the particle size range rapidly forms a three-dimensional network structure under the bridging action of zincate, and the electrolyte is fixed and rapidly converted into a gel state from a liquid state.
A preparation method of electrolyte of a high specific energy zinc-nickel battery comprises the following steps:
(1) weighing the raw materials according to the proportion, adding alkali into water, heating, stirring and dissolving to obtain alkali liquor;
(2) and adding an additive and silica sol into the alkali liquor, uniformly stirring, and performing water bath ultrasonic treatment to obtain the electrolyte of the zinc-nickel battery with high specific energy.
Preferably, in the step (1), the temperature for heating and dissolving is 50 to 75 ℃.
Preferably, in the step (1), the stirring rate is controlled to be 120 to 200 rmp.
Preferably, in the step (2), the temperature of the water bath is 45-65 ℃.
Preferably, in the step (2), the ultrasonic frequency is 40-60 KHZ; the ultrasonic time is 0.5-6 h. In the ultrasonic frequency range, the dissolved electrolyte can be ensured to fully enter the gaps of the condensed silica sol particles, and the high-speed and effective electron conduction rate in the reaction is ensured.
Preferably, in the steps (1) and (2), feeding is carried out in a batch feeding mode, and the batch feeding ensures sufficient dissolution of the raw materials and stability of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the high-specific-energy zinc-nickel battery has high utilization rate of the electrolyte, and the addition of the silica sol colloid electrolyte can effectively prevent the zincate from layering, so that the battery is stable in charging and discharging: the starting performance and the deep discharge resistance are well improved; the growth of crystals is also inhibited, and the cycle life of the battery is prolonged;
(2) the preparation method has simple steps, has no special requirements on equipment and is easy for industrialization.
