Description

Fluid seawater battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hybrid batteries and manufacturing thereof, in particular to a fluid seawater battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the proposal of the strong national strategy of oceans in China, the problems of ocean power utilization and island power supply need to be solved urgently. The existing power supply modes mainly comprise networking and off-network; the networking type power grid mainly adopts a submarine cable mode, although networking engineering can ensure the reliability of island power supply, the island off-grid power supply becomes the core technology of the island power supply due to the defects of the incredible manufacturing cost, the difficulty in later maintenance and the like. Renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic power generation and wind energy are utilized in the island off-grid power supply system, but the island environment is high in temperature, humidity and salt fog, and devices for photovoltaic power generation need special treatment under the conditions, so that the economic applicability is still to be improved. In response to the above series of problems, researchers at home and abroad have shifted the visual angle to seawater, the most abundant resource in islands in the sea in recent years. Power generation is attempted using natural seawater as an electrolyte, and a seawater battery is therefore produced. The seawater battery has the outstanding characteristics that the seawater battery does not need to carry electrolyte and can work in the environment of all sea conditions. The seawater battery adopts the working principle of a primary battery, the anode is active metal, and the cathode is an electrode of silver chloride, cuprous chloride and lead chloride, and the seawater battery has the characteristics of high energy density and high power, but in the discharging process, the positive anode material is consumed, so the seawater battery belongs to a primary battery and has poor economy, and is mainly applied to military and used as a power supply of torpedoes; the other type of metal-air seawater battery which is researched more still adopts active metal as the anode, and the cathode directly reduces the electrode by the dissolved oxygen in the seawater. Compared with the former battery, the anode of the seawater battery still consumes active metal, and the cathode consumes dissolved oxygen in seawater to generate oxidation-reduction reaction. Such cells have the characteristics of both primary cells and fuel cells. However, due to the limitation of the working principle, namely the limitation of the concentration of dissolved oxygen of the cathode material, the power of the battery has a great problem all the time, and the existing battery system can only be suitable for small-power electrical appliances on the sea, such as buoys, lighthouses and the like. Therefore, a cathode material with better efficiency and higher efficiency is sought, and a seawater battery with better comprehensive performance can be manufactured.
The coordination crystal is a three-dimensional periodic porous framework material formed by taking metal ions or clusters as nodes and organic ligands as frameworks. The coordination crystal has the advantages of high porosity, low density, large specific surface area, adjustable pore diameter, diversity and tailorability of topological structure and the like, so that the coordination crystal can be used for reversible storage of metal ions (such as potassium ions, sodium ions and the like). In addition, the crystal structure can be kept stable during the process of embedding and extracting the guest ions. In recent years, the coordination crystal has shown great potential in lithium, sodium, potassium, and other ion secondary batteries as typified by prussian blue-based compounds.
