Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to application of a bifunctional catalyst in preparation of a zinc-air battery, belonging to the field of electrochemical energy conversion and storage.
Background
In the world today, energy problems are a key issue for the development of human society. With the transition use of fossil energy, environmental and pollution problems such as global warming, greenhouse effect, air pollution, etc. become increasingly severe. The oil used by the fuel oil automobile is non-renewable energy, and the operation process of the oil automobile can discharge pollution gas, while for the pure electric automobile, the oil automobile uses a renewable power supply, and has no pollution emission and high conversion efficiency of electric energy. The development of electric vehicles is a promising approach.
For the development of pure electric vehicles, the main limitation is the safety and endurance of the power battery. Currently, the energy density of the commonly used lithium ion battery is relatively low, and the safety of the lithium ion battery faces a huge challenge due to the use of an organic electrolyte. The specific capacity of the zinc-air battery as an electrochemical system directly using oxygen in air mainly depends on the capacity of negative electrode zinc, and the theoretical capacity density is as high as 1086 Wh kg -1 Is 5 times of the current lithium ion battery.
At present, the research bottleneck of the zinc-air battery is mainly the cathode high-performance oxygen catalyst. The oxygen catalysts commonly used at present are noble metals of platinum/carbon and iridium oxide, but the high price and poor stability thereof greatly limit the practical application. A series of non-noble metal catalysts have been reported to be applied to zinc air recently, but most of the catalysts involve the use of expensive graphene/graphene oxide or complicated preparation procedures, resulting in higher actual preparation cost,
disclosure of Invention

The invention relates to a high-efficiency low-cost bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst prepared by a one-pot method easy for large-scale preparation, and application of the catalyst in a zinc-air battery. The catalyst with a three-dimensional structure can be obtained by coating the surface of the sulfide with a multi-stage porous nitrogen-doped carbon material, and the three-dimensional sea urchin-shaped structure of the catalyst is favorable for the transmission of oxygen species and electrons, so that the oxygen catalytic performance can be effectively improved. The catalyst has simple synthesis process, low cost of used raw materials and performance close to that of the current commercialized Pt/C and IrO 2 A catalyst. The catalyst is used for the anode oxygen catalyst of the zinc-air battery, shows higher power density and energy density, can keep stable performance for a long time in the stability test process, and has obviously better performance than commercial Pt/C and IrO when being used as the cathode catalyst of the zinc-air battery 2 Mixing the catalyst. Meanwhile, the zinc oxide/carbon composite material is used as a positive electrode catalyst of a flexible solid zinc-air battery and also shows excellent performance. The preparation method of the bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst is simple, is easy for large-scale production, can be widely applied to energy storage and conversion equipment, and has good practical value.
The catalyst mainly adopts an autocatalysis growth method, and cobalt ions can generate complexation with sulfur in thiourea, so that cobalt sulfide can be obtained at high temperature. By adding melamine, cobalt sulfide can be reduced at high temperature to obtain simple substance cobalt, so that the obtained cobalt can be used as a catalyst, carbon and nitrogen compounds obtained by pyrolysis of melamine are used as a solid carbon source, and a nitrogen-doped carbon material grows on the surface of the reduced cobalt on the surface of the cobalt sulfide in an autocatalytic manner. The three-dimensional sea urchin-shaped structure is beneficial to the transmission of oxygen species and electrons, so that the oxygen catalytic performance can be improved.

Characterization of materials
The morphology of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst can be obtained through an S-4800 scanning electron microscope image and an S-TWIN projection electron microscope test. The specific surface area was measured by a BEL desorption apparatus. Discharge and cycling performance was measured by the novice test instrument. The power density was measured by Solartron instrument. The characterization results were as follows:
1. scanning electron micrographs of nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide
The area (a) in fig. 1 is a scanning electron microscope image of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst, and it can be seen that the surface of the prepared catalyst is coated with porous carbon and carbon nanotubes, and the transmission electron microscope image in the area (b) in fig. 1 can see that certain carbon nanotubes grow on the outer surface of the catalyst, and the catalyst presents a sea urchin-like three-dimensional structure. X-ray diffraction showed that the catalyst was predominantly octacobalt nonasulfide phase structure and that some amount of cobalt was present, primarily for catalytic growth of nitrogen-doped carbon. Raman spectroscopy indicates that for nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide, it is mainly a co-existing structure of cobalt sulfide and carbon material.
2. Nitrogen adsorption and desorption curve of nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide
Fig. 2 is a nitrogen adsorption and desorption curve of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst, and it can be seen that the catalyst mainly consists of mesopores and macropores, and the specific surface area reaches 95 square meters per gram.
3. Oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution Performance test
FIG. 3 is a test of oxygen reduction performance of nitrogen doped carbon coated cobalt sulfide, nitrogen doped carbon and platinum carbon catalysts in 0.1 mol/l KOH solution, showing that the prepared bifunctional catalyst has oxygen reduction performance close to that of noble metal platinum carbon catalyst and superior to that of pure cobalt sulfide and nitrogen doped carbon. Figure 4 is a test of oxygen evolution performance of nitrogen doped carbon coated cobalt sulfide, nitrogen doped carbon and iridium oxide catalysts in 0.1 mol/l potassium hydroxide solution, and it can be seen that the oxygen evolution performance of the bifunctional catalyst is superior to commercial iridium oxide and to pure cobalt sulfide and nitrogen doped carbon, primarily because the transition metal sulfide is coated with nitrogen doped carbon, which can act as an electron conducting network.
4. Research on air discharge performance of liquid zinc
Discharge performance is an important criterion for zinc-air cell performance. Fig. 5 is a voltage-current density and power-current density curve of a zinc-air battery assembled by the bifunctional catalyst and the platinum-carbon catalyst, and it is obvious that the maximum power density of the prepared bifunctional catalyst can reach 103 milliwatts per square centimeter and is higher than 87 milliwatts per square centimeter of the platinum-carbon catalyst. Fig. 6 is a graph of energy density of zinc-air cells assembled with nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide and platinum-carbon catalyst tested at a current density of 10 milliamps/cm, the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide showing a higher discharge potential than the platinum-carbon catalyst, and the maximum discharge energy density of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide being as high as 924 Wh/kg, significantly higher than 860 Wh/kg of platinum-carbon.
Further evaluating the discharge stability of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst, fig. 7 shows that the zinc-air battery assembled by the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide has long-time discharge temperature performance at a current density of 10 milliampere/square centimeter, and the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst still maintains good discharge performance after the zinc sheet is replaced five times and the test lasts for 185 hours, so that the catalyst has good stability.
5. Study on air circulation performance of liquid zinc
Fig. 8 shows the charge and discharge performance of a zinc-air battery assembled by nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide and platinum carbon/iridium oxide mixed catalyst, tested at a current density of 2 milliamperes per square centimeter. It can be seen that the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst can still keep stable after being charged and discharged for 200 hours circularly, and the charging and discharging polarization is smaller. And after 50 hours of charge and discharge, the platinum carbon/iridium oxide mixed catalyst is deactivated, so that the performance is rapidly reduced. The excellent cycling stability of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst is demonstrated.
6. Research on flexible solid zinc-air battery
The PVA alkaline gel which is most commonly used at present is used as an electrolyte, the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst is sprayed on the surface of carbon cloth to be used as a positive electrode, zinc foil is used as a negative electrode, and the solid zinc-air battery is assembled. Fig. 9 shows the charge and discharge performance of the flexible solid zinc-air battery assembled by the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst in different bending states tested at a current density of 1 milliampere/square centimeter, and the folding angle is changed without circulating 5 cycles, so that the performance is not greatly attenuated at different folding angles, and the charge and discharge polarization is small, which indicates that the flexible solid zinc-air battery has a practical potential application value.
Through the experiments, the prepared nitrogen-doped carbon-coated cobalt sulfide catalyst has excellent catalytic performance which is close to that of a commercial noble metal catalyst, and the zinc air performance is superior to that of the commercial noble metal catalyst. The application of the zinc-air battery can greatly reduce the overall cost of the zinc-air battery.
