Description

Additive for aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte, aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte and aqueous zinc ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of aqueous zinc ion batteries, in particular to an additive for aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte, aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte and aqueous zinc ion battery.
Background
As an emerging energy storage battery, the water-based zinc ion battery has the advantages of high safety, low cost, environmental friendliness, high energy density, easiness in manufacturing and the like, and has wide application prospects in the fields of large-scale energy storage, wearable products and the like. However, the conventional aqueous electrolyte (zinc salt aqueous solution) adopted by the water-based zinc ion battery has the problem that zinc ion deposition/dissolution dynamic behaviors are not uniform and controllable, and uneven distribution of an electric field at one side of a zinc cathode can be caused, so that zinc dendrite formation and growth are caused. Meanwhile, a large amount of free flowing water exists in the traditional aqueous electrolyte, which can cause electrochemical side reaction and uncontrollable solid-liquid interface reaction on the surface of the zinc negative electrode, so that the passivation of the zinc negative electrode is caused, and the risk of corrosion of the zinc negative electrode can be increased. The problem of the zinc cathode can cause the reduction of coulomb efficiency and the excessively rapid capacity decay of the water-based zinc ion battery in the charge and discharge process, thereby influencing the multiplying power performance and the cycle performance of the battery, and severely restricting the development and the commercial application of the water-based zinc ion battery.
In order to solve the problems of dendrite, corrosion, passivation and other zinc cathodes, researchers have conducted a great deal of research work, mainly comprising two strategies of surface modification and electrolyte optimization of the zinc cathode. The surface modification of the zinc cathode mainly prevents the surface of the zinc cathode from being directly exposed in the electrolyte by establishing a buffer layer, thereby blocking the direct contact between the zinc cathode and the electrolyte and reducing the local exchange current density so as to promote the uniform deposition of zinc ions. However, the buffer layer often has non-uniformity problem, and can not completely isolate infiltration of electrolyte; in the reciprocating zinc deposition/stripping process, the volume of zinc metal is continuously changed, so that the buffer layer is gradually fallen off or damaged due to the fact that the buffer layer cannot bear the long-time volume change, and the protection effect of the zinc cathode is lost. From the practical point of view, electrolyte optimization is a simple, effective and easily implemented method of inhibiting dendrite formation and growth. The most common means of electrolyte optimization is the introduction of electrolyte additives. The electrolyte additive commonly used at present is mainly an organic polymer electrolyte additive, can be selectively adsorbed at a zinc deposition site, induces the ion concentration and the electric field near a zinc cathode to be uniformly distributed, further improves the interface environment between the zinc cathode and the electrolyte, avoids overgrowth of zinc dendrites, and can reduce corrosion and passivation of the zinc cathode. However, the traditional organic polymer electrolyte additive has high cost, and has potential safety hazards such as inflammability, toxicity and the like, so that the practical application of the additive in the field of large-scale energy storage is limited. Therefore, development of an electrolyte additive for an environment-friendly aqueous zinc ion battery is one of the current research hotspots.
The water-soluble chitosan is a chitosan derivative prepared by the chemical modification reaction of chitosan, and has good solubility and thickening property. The electrolyte additive can reduce the activity of free water in the water-based electrolyte, and effectively inhibit electrochemical side reactions and uncontrollable solid-liquid interface reactions on the surface of the zinc negative electrode, thereby relieving the problems of zinc corrosion and zinc negative electrode passivation. Meanwhile, the molecular chain of the water-soluble chitosan also contains a large number of hydroxyl and amine functional groups, and the functional groups have certain complexing capacity with zinc ions, so that the uniform distribution of the concentration of ions and an electric field near the zinc cathode is expected to be induced by the complexing action between the water-soluble chitosan and the zinc ions, so that the zinc ions are uniformly deposited and dissolved out on the surface of the zinc cathode, and the growth of zinc dendrites is effectively inhibited. In addition, the water-soluble chitosan has wide sources, low price, environmental protection and large-scale production, and has important significance for constructing the water-based zinc ion battery with high performance and low cost.

as can be seen from the rate performance test of fig. 5 (a), the specific discharge capacities of the aqueous zinc ion battery using the test electrolyte at the current densities of 0.1A/g, 0.2A/g, 0.5A/g, 1A/g, 2A/g, 3A/g and 5A/g were all significantly lower than those of the aqueous zinc ion battery using the reference electrolyte, indicating that the battery using the test electrolyte had poor rate performance; as can be seen from the cycle performance test of fig. 5 (b), after 2800 times of constant current charge and discharge at a current density of 1.5A/g, the specific discharge capacity of the battery using the test electrolyte was 65.4mAh/g, which was 75.3mAh/g lower than that of the battery using the reference electrolyte, and the cycle stability of the battery using the test electrolyte was significantly lower than that of the battery using the reference electrolyte during 2800 times of constant current charge and discharge. This is mainly because when the mass fraction of the water-soluble chitosan in the total mass of the electrolyte is less than 0.1% and the concentration of the zinc salt is less than 0.2mol/L, the test electrolyte of this example cannot completely achieve full coverage of the favorable nucleation sites, resulting in overgrowth of zinc dendrites. In addition, the electrolyte promotes the increase of electrochemical side reactions on the surface of the zinc cathode, thereby increasing the corrosion and passivation of the zinc cathode and further weakening the rate capability and the cycle capability of the water-based zinc ion battery.

adding 2g of chitosan lactate, 2g of chitosan nitrate, 2g of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt and 5g of chitosan sulfate into aqueous electrolyte of 5mol/L zinc triflate, 4mol/L zinc chloride, 4mol/L zinc nitrate, 1mol/L manganese triflate, 0.5mol/L manganese chloride and 0.6mol/L manganese nitrate with the total mass of 89g, fully stirring until the chitosan lactate, the chitosan nitrate, the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt and the chitosan sulfate are completely dissolved, then adjusting the pH value of the mixed aqueous solution to be 4.6, and standing to obtain the aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte.
And placing the graphite paper gasket in the positive electrode shell, sequentially placing the positive electrode plate and the diaphragm, dripping electrolyte until the diaphragm is completely wetted, sequentially placing the negative electrode plate (zinc plate), the stainless steel gasket, the elastic sheet and the negative electrode shell, and then placing the negative electrode plate, the stainless steel gasket, the elastic sheet and the negative electrode shell in a static press for static pressure sealing to obtain the water-based zinc ion battery.
2. Configuration of reference electrolyte and aqueous zinc ion battery assembly based thereon:
and (3) completely dissolving zinc triflate, zinc chloride, zinc nitrate, manganese triflate, manganese chloride and manganese nitrate, preparing 5mol/L zinc triflate, 4mol/L zinc chloride, 4mol/L zinc nitrate, 1mol/L manganese triflate, 0.5mol/L manganese chloride and 0.6mol/L manganese nitrate aqueous electrolyte with the total mass of 100g, and then regulating the pH value of the aqueous electrolyte to be 4.6 to obtain the reference electrolyte. The assembly process of the aqueous zinc-ion battery using the reference electrolyte is the same as above.
3. Electrochemical performance test:
the water-based zinc ion batteries using the test electrolyte and the reference electrolyte are subjected to multiplying power charge and discharge and constant current charge and discharge tests respectively, the set multiplying power is 0.1A/g, 0.2A/g, 0.5A/g, 1A/g, 2A/g, 3A/g and 5A/g, and the set constant current density is 1.5A/g.
4. Analysis of results:
as can be seen from the rate performance test of fig. 6 (a), the specific discharge capacities of the aqueous zinc ion battery using the test electrolyte at the current densities of 0.1A/g, 0.2A/g, 0.5A/g, 1A/g, 2A/g, 3A/g and 5A/g were all significantly lower than those of the aqueous zinc ion battery using the reference electrolyte, indicating that the battery using the test electrolyte had poor rate performance; as can be seen from the cycle performance test of fig. 6 (b), after 2800 times of constant current charge and discharge at a current density of 1.5A/g, the specific discharge capacity of the battery using the test electrolyte was 63.1mAh/g, which was lower than that of the battery using the reference electrolyte by 70.4mAh/g, and the cycle stability of the battery using the test electrolyte during 2800 times of constant current charge and discharge was significantly lower than that of the battery using the reference electrolyte. This is mainly because the test electrolyte of this example cannot fully achieve full coverage of the favorable nucleation sites when the mass fraction of water-soluble chitosan to the total mass of the electrolyte is higher than 10% and the concentration of zinc salt is higher than 12mol/L, resulting in overgrowth of zinc dendrites. In addition, the electrolyte promotes the increase of electrochemical side reactions on the surface of the zinc cathode, thereby increasing the corrosion and passivation of the zinc cathode and further weakening the rate capability and the cycle capability of the water-based zinc ion battery.
