Description

Zinc cathode material with elastic protective layer and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, and relates to a zinc cathode material with an elastic protective layer, and preparation and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the increasing demand for large-scale energy storage and the development of electric vehicles, the safety of secondary batteries has been receiving much attention. For the traditional lithium ion battery, the adopted organic electrolyte system and the high-activity metal lithium cause serious potential safety hazards in the use process of the lithium ion battery, and the problems limit the further development of the lithium ion battery in the field of large-scale energy storage. Therefore, aqueous zinc ion secondary batteries have attracted much attention because of their advantages such as high safety and low cost of aqueous electrolytes, and air-stable zinc negative electrodes. In addition, the metal zinc has higher theoretical specific capacity (820mAh g)1) And the high energy density of the water system zinc ion battery is ensured. However, due to its high metal activity, metallic zinc inevitably reacts with aqueous solutions in the electrolyte, causing corrosion and passivation of the zinc anode, resulting in a short life of the zinc anode during charge and discharge cycles. During charging and discharging, disordered electrodeposition of zinc ions often leads to zinc dendrites and zinc electrode pulverization, resulting in short circuit and low coulombic efficiency of the battery during cycling.
Some of the currently reported methods of improving corrosion and uneven deposition of zinc anodes mainly include: the high-salt electrolyte reduces the water activity and constructs a three-dimensional current collector and the like. Although these methods can alleviate the above problems to some extent, they have limited their large scale popularization due to their high cost. In a traditional lithium ion battery, a graphite cathode reacts with an electrolyte in a discharging process, and a layer of compact Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) film is generated on the surface of the graphite cathode, so that the SEI film can inhibit side reactions between the graphite cathode and the electrolyte, can help to stabilize the insertion/extraction of lithium ions in the graphite cathode, and realizes stable charge-discharge circulation. Therefore, the construction of an artificial protective layer on a zinc negative electrode has received a lot of attention. However, most of the current research on artificial protective layers focuses on the test of low current and low discharge surface capacity, which cannot meet the requirements of practical application on high energy density and power density. The invention patent CN 109980226A discloses a zinc cathode with a polyamide brightener layer and a preparation method thereof, and the process can only improve the service life of the zinc cathode under low current density and low surface capacity. The invention patent CN 108520985A discloses a method for prolonging the cycle life of a zinc electrode, the invention has simple process and low cost, but the cycle life of the zinc electrode prepared by the process is still less than 100h, and the chemical corrosion and the electrochemical corrosion of a zinc cathode can not be solved. Therefore, the zinc cathode which is stably circulated under high current density is obtained by adopting a process with low cost and simple preparation.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a zinc negative electrode material with an elastic protective layer, and preparation and application thereof. The inorganic nano-particles are anchored in the high molecular polymer by utilizing the high elastic modulus and viscosity of the high molecular polymer and are constructed on the zinc cathode to form a protective layer with high elastic modulus. The elastic protective layer can prevent the zinc cathode from directly contacting with the electrolyte, relieve the chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion of the zinc cathode in the electrolyte, and relieve zinc dendrite generated by the zinc cathode in the electrodeposition process; in addition, the uniformly dispersed nano particles in the elastic protective layer can regulate and control the electrodeposition of zinc ions.
The purpose of the invention can be realized by the following technical scheme:
one of the technical schemes of the invention provides a zinc cathode material with an elastic protection layer, which consists of a zinc cathode active material and the elastic protection layer coated on the zinc cathode active material, wherein the elastic protection layer comprises a high molecular polymer substrate and inorganic nano-particles anchored in the high molecular polymer substrate.
Furthermore, the zinc negative active material is selected from one or more of pure zinc foil, zinc alloy sheet, pure zinc powder, zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide and the like.
Furthermore, in the elastic protection layer, the mass ratio of the high molecular polymer substrate to the inorganic nanoparticles is 1: (1-20).
Further, the high molecular polymer substrate is selected from any one of PVDF, PVDF-HFP, PAA, PEI, CMC, PEI or PVC substrate, and the like, and the number average molecular weight of the high molecular polymer substrate is 10-500 ten thousand.
Further, the inorganic nanoparticles are selected from Al2O3、ZnO、TiO2、SiO2、BeO、Y2O3、Nb2O5、Ti4O7Or ZrO2One or more of them, the grain diameter is 10 nm-200 nm.
Furthermore, the thickness of the elastic restraint layer is not more than 50 μm, and the elastic modulus is 1 GPa-20 GPa, so that the function of the elastic restraint layer can be realized, and the energy density of the battery is not excessively lost.
In the invention, the substrate of the high molecular polymer in the elastic constraint layer can constrain loose hexagonal sheet-shaped objects formed by zinc ions in the electrodeposition process, inhibit the appearance change of the zinc cathode, reduce deactivated zinc metal, and reduce corrosion of electrolyte and dissolved oxygen in the electrolyte to the zinc cathode. And the inorganic nano-particles regulate the deposition of zinc ions and relieve zinc dendrites. Meanwhile, the mass ratio of the polymer substrate to the inorganic nanoparticles in the elastic constraint layer is 1: (1-20), which can ensure good film forming property and high elastic modulus of the elastic protective layer. The compact high-elasticity film can effectively prevent the corrosion of the metal zinc in the electrodeposition process, effectively restrain the shape change of the zinc cathode and reduce the inactivated zinc metal.
The second technical scheme of the invention provides a preparation method of a zinc cathode material with an elastic protective layer, which comprises the following steps:
(1) mixing a high molecular polymer with a solvent, and stirring to obtain a uniform and transparent high molecular solution;
(2) adding inorganic nano particles into the obtained polymer solution, and performing ultrasonic treatment to uniformly suspend the inorganic nano particles in the polymer solution to obtain suspension slurry;
(3) and uniformly coating the suspension slurry on the surface of the zinc cathode active material, and drying to evaporate the solvent to obtain the target product.
Further, in the step (1), the solvent is one or more selected from NMP, DMF, acetone, acetonitrile or diethyl ether.
Further, the mass ratio of the high molecular polymer to the solvent is 1: 2-1: 100. The solvent is required to ensure that the high molecular polymer can be fully dissolved and has certain viscosity so that the inorganic nano-particles can be uniformly dispersed in the subsequent preparation process. Too much solvent can cause agglomeration of the inorganic nanoparticles and formation of porous structures in the elastic constraining layer during baking.
Further, in the step (2), the added inorganic nanoparticles satisfy: the mass ratio of the high molecular polymer to the inorganic nanoparticles is 1: (1-20).
Further, in the step (3), the amount of the suspension slurry applied was 10. mu.L/cm2~100μL/cm2. When the coating amount is too small, a film is not easily formed, and when the coating amount is too large, the internal resistance of the battery is increased and the energy density of the battery is reduced.
Further, in the step (1), stirring is carried out at 50-100 ℃.
Further, in the step (3), the coating conditions are specifically as follows: the coating mode is one or two of spin coating, drop coating, blade coating and spray coating, the ambient temperature is 10-60 ℃, the ambient humidity is 10-80%, and the coating speed is 1-100 mu L/s. If the ambient temperature is too high, the solvent is easy to volatilize and the inorganic nano particles are easy to agglomerate in the coating process. The moisture content is high, so that the slurry is easy to absorb water in the coating process, and the film forming property is reduced. Too slow a coating speed can result in uneven dispersion of the inorganic nanoparticles within the elastic constraints.
Further, in the step (3), the drying conditions are as follows: the environment temperature is 25-100 ℃, and the environment pressure is-0.1 MPa. After drying, the residual quantity of the solvent evaporated is not higher than 1 percent by mass.
In the above steps, the high molecular polymer is dissolved in the solvent, so as to realize the dispersion of the high molecular polymer and ensure a certain viscosity. While the high molecular polymer solution with certain viscosity can effectively realize the dispersion and anchoring of the inorganic nano particles.
The third technical scheme of the invention provides a water-based secondary battery, which comprises a positive plate, a zinc negative plate made of the zinc negative material, a diaphragm and electrolyte, and is characterized in that the zinc negative plate and the positive plate are respectively positioned at two sides of the diaphragm, and an elastic protection layer on the surface of one side of the zinc negative plate is adjacent to the diaphragm.
Further, the positive electrode plate includes, but is not limited to, a manganese dioxide positive electrode plate, a vanadium pentoxide positive electrode plate, a prussian blue positive electrode plate, and a polyaniline positive electrode plate.
Further, the separator includes, but is not limited to, a glass fiber separator, a PP separator, a PE separator, and a filter paper separator.
Further, the solute of the electrolyte includes, but is not limited to, at least one of zinc sulfate, zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, zinc perchlorate and zinc chloride; the solvent of the electrolyte is ultrapure water; the amount and concentration of the electrolyte can be the amount and concentration which are conventionally injected in the field.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
(1) aiming at the water system electrolyte environment, in the large current density and current surface capacity charge and discharge test, the side reaction between the zinc electrode and the electrolyte is greatly inhibited, the stability is obviously improved, the deposition process of zinc ions on the zinc electrode is effectively regulated and controlled, and the pulverization of a zinc cathode and the generation of zinc dendrites are avoided, so that the coulomb efficiency and the cycle life of a symmetrical zinc ion battery are improved, and the capacity retention rate and the cycle life of a zinc-based secondary water system full battery are improved.
(2) The preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and the large-scale production is convenient.
