Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of new energy, in particular to a metal-air battery based on Fe (II)/Fe (III) chemical oxidation and electrochemical reduction.
Background
The metal-air battery uses active metal as a negative electrode (anode) and oxygen as a chemical power supply of a positive electrode (cathode), but because the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is only 21 percent, and the discharge can be realized through the steps of adsorption, diffusion and liquid-phase electrochemical reduction, the diffusion path is long, the oxygen electrochemical reduction reaction speed is slow, the overpotential of the oxygen ionization and reduction reaction is high, so that the traditional metal-air battery has low discharge voltage, small discharge current and insufficient working capacity.
Therefore, the anode of the traditional metal-air battery usually adopts noble metal catalysts such as platinum and palladium as electrode materials to accelerate the electrochemical oxidation of oxygenChemical reduction reaction rate (discharge rate). However, the noble metal catalyst has poor stability, catalytic activity is difficult to maintain for a long time, and the cost is very high, so that the noble metal catalyst is difficult to apply on a large scale. In addition, a metal oxide catalyst (such as oxides of valence-variable metals including Mn, Co, and Fe) can be used as the positive electrode material, but the metal oxide catalyst is not as active as a noble metal catalyst and is likely to react with Co in the air2The activity is lost due to toxic reaction, the service life is short and the stability is insufficient; meanwhile, some metal oxide catalysts contain heavy metals, so that the environment is polluted, the preparation is complex, and the cost is higher.

If the regeneration speed of the positive electrolyte is increased, air can be continuously or intermittently pumped by using an air pump. Although the oxygen in the air has a slow electrochemical reduction reaction speed and a high ionization overpotential, the oxygen chemically oxidizes Fe2+The ion time rate is extremely high, mainly because the step of oxygen ionization is omitted and the influence of equilibrium potential is avoided, the rapid regeneration of the anode electrolyte can be realized; the regeneration of cathode material can be carried out by directly replacing the consumed cathode metal plate, and the cathode electrolyte solution is low-value sodium chloride or potassium chloride solution which can be directly replaced. Meanwhile, when the battery is maintained, a proper amount of acid liquor can be added into the electrolyte of the positive electrode.
