Description

Zinc ion battery composite negative electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field related to zinc ion batteries, in particular to a zinc ion battery composite negative electrode, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The ambitious blue plot of achieving carbon neutralization has greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm for facilitating the popularity of large-scale energy storage devices that are eco-friendly, cost-effective and safe. Although lithium batteries have the advantages of high operating voltage, long cycle life, no memory effect, low self-discharge and the like, the market for portable devices and energy storage devices of electric automobiles is dominant. However, due to the high cost and the potential safety hazard of combustibility and explosiveness of lithium ion batteries, and the low abundance of lithium in natural resources, the future application prospect of lithium ion batteries in large-scale storage still has a certain limit. In view of these limitations, rechargeable zinc-based batteries using aqueous zinc salts as the electrolyte and zinc metal as the negative electrode material have unique advantages of safety, environmental protection, abundant resources, convenient preparation, and the like, and have been regarded as one of the most promising next-generation batteries in recent years due to the attention of scientific research.
However, under weak acidic or neutral conditions, zinc metal is prone to problems such as dendrite growth, unavoidable corrosion and hydrogen evolution due to thermodynamic instability and surface unevenness, so that coulomb efficiency is low and cycle reversibility is poor in an electroplating/stripping process, and the problems seriously affect the frontal cycle stability of a zinc ion battery, so that the zinc ion battery cannot meet the requirements of long cycle life in the fields of power energy and large-scale energy storage. Similar to Li/Na metal cells, zn2+ ions tend to nucleate more at sites with higher potential, then zinc ions deposit at initial nucleation sites with higher curvature and lower activation energy, grow further into protrusions, with protruding tips with higher electric field as charge centers, and eventually lead to rapid dendrite growth through long-term accumulation. Although zinc has a high hydrogen evolution overpotential, it is unavoidable that hydrogen is still evolved because zinc has a higher reactivity than water, which reduces zinc usage, resulting in problems such as leakage of the expanding electrolyte. Most importantly, due to the generation of hydrogen, the local pH value of the zinc cathode can be increased, OH < - > is accumulated on the surface of the zinc cathode, basic zinc sulfate byproducts are further generated, and the non-conductive interface products can obstruct the transportation of zinc ions, so that the zinc cathode has poorer rate performance and cycle performance. The crazy growth of dendrites and interface parasitic reactions mutually affect each other and promote each other, further seriously affect the stability of a zinc cathode, and even puncture a diaphragm to cause short circuit of a battery, so that the battery is completely failed.
In order to solve the above problems, various modification strategies are currently proposed by researchers to inhibit dendrite growth to improve the cycle life of zinc anode, such as current collector design, novel separator development, zinc surface modification, electrolyte engineering, etc. The zinc anode surface modification has obvious application advantages: (1) The operation is simple, and because zinc metal is stable in air, the zinc metal can be realized by a simple coating process; (2) The effect is obvious, and due to the existence of artificial SEI, the direct contact between the zinc cathode and the electrolyte can be avoided, and the side reaction of water participation is inhibited; (3) The interface layer of the fast ion conductor can effectively and evenly flow zinc ions and inhibit the growth of dendrites. Although some progress has been made in these studies, the surface modification reported so far still has certain drawbacks, particularly in terms of complicated preparation process, high cost and increased interfacial resistance.

Example 1
The preparation method of the zinc ion battery composite negative electrode comprises the following steps:
s1, polishing the surface of a zinc metal matrix by 1000-mesh sand paper, cleaning by deionized water and ethanol, and drying;
s2, adding 30mg of carboxymethyl cellulose into a slurry mixing bottle at normal temperature, adding a proper amount of solvent, and stirring for 1h until the binder is uniformly dispersed;
s3, placing the functionalized carbon dots doped with nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur elements into a mortar, and forcefully grinding for 15-20min until the carbon dots are uniform in particles and have no massive particles;
S4, weighing 120mg of the functionalized carbon dots in the step S3, slowly adding the functionalized carbon dots into a slurry mixing bottle, adding the rest of solvent, and stirring for 6 hours until the viscosity of the mixed slurry is proper;
S5, coating the mixed slurry obtained in the step S4 on a zinc metal substrate through an automatic coating machine, adjusting the height to 20 mu m, then placing the zinc metal substrate into a vacuum drying oven, drying at 80 ℃ for 10 hours, and cutting into pole pieces with the diameter of 14mm for standby.
Comparative example 1
Preparation of zinc metal negative electrode:
Polishing the surface of zinc foil (thickness of 100 μm) by 1000-mesh sand paper for 10min, cleaning with deionized water and ethanol, drying to obtain metal zinc foil (thickness of 90 μm) with smooth and clean surface and no zinc oxide, and cutting into pole pieces with diameter of 14mm for use.
Contact angles were measured with the pole pieces of example 1 and comparative example 1, respectively, and the measurement results are shown in fig. 1. As can be seen from fig. 1 (a), the contact angle between the bare zinc (Bare Zn) and the zinc sulfate electrolyte is 104.5 °, which indicates that the bare zinc and the electrolyte have poor wettability, which is disadvantageous for migration of zinc ions on the electrode surface; in contrast, the carbon-point-modified zinc anode (Zn@CDs) and the electrolyte have a contact angle of only 63.8 degrees (as shown in (b) diagram in fig. 1), which shows that the introduction of the multifunctional carbon points can remarkably enhance the wettability of the interface, and the carbon point surface contains abundant zinc-philic functional groups, so that uniform zinc ion flow can be regulated, and the phenomenon of nonuniform interface electric field caused by a tip effect is relieved.
Preparation of a battery:
Preparation of zinc symmetrical cell:
at room temperature, button type symmetrical battery assembly is completed in air by taking the pole pieces of the example 1 and the comparative example 1 as positive and negative electrodes, glass fiber as a diaphragm and zinc sulfate as electrolyte.
Preparation of a zinc ion full cell:
at room temperature, the battery assembly of the button type zinc ion full battery is completed in the air by taking the pole piece prepared in the example 1 and the comparative example 1 as a negative electrode, zinc sulfate as electrolyte, sodium vanadate or manganese dioxide as a positive electrode and glass fiber as a diaphragm.
Wherein:
The preparation process of the sodium vanadate comprises the following steps:
0.724g V 2O5 and 0.598g of Na 3C6H5O7·2H2 O are weighed and added into 60mL of deionized water, and stirring is carried out vigorously for 30min; and transferring the mixed solution into a reaction kettle, reacting for 48 hours at 160 ℃, naturally cooling to room temperature, respectively washing the product with ethanol and deionized water, and finally drying in a vacuum drying oven for 10 hours to obtain the anode material Na xV2O5·nH2 O.
The preparation process of the sodium vanadate anode is as follows:
according to the mass ratio of 7:2:1, respectively weighing 70mg of sodium vanadate, 20mg of carbon black conductive agent and 10mg of PVDF binder to an agate mortar, uniformly stirring, then dripping 20 drops of NMP to perform slurry stirring, grinding for 10min to uniform slurry, uniformly coating the slurry on the surface of a stainless steel mesh by using a scraper, then placing the stainless steel mesh in a vacuum drying oven at 100 ℃ for 10h, and then taking out a wafer with the diameter of 12 cm.
The preparation flow of the MnO 2 positive electrode is as follows:
According to the mass ratio of 7:2:1, respectively weighing 70mg of MnO 2, 20mg of carbon black and 10mg of PVDF to an agate mortar, uniformly stirring, then dripping NMP to stir slurry, grinding for 10min to uniform slurry, uniformly coating the slurry on the surface of a stainless steel mesh by using a scraper, placing the stainless steel mesh in a vacuum drying oven at 100 ℃ for 10h, and taking out cut pieces.
Performance testing
The corrosion speed of a pole piece is tested by using a Chenhua (Shanghai) electrochemical workstation, a three-electrode testing system (a pole piece is used as a working electrode, zinc is used as a counter electrode, agCl/Ag is used as a reference electrode), and Tafel testing of a zinc cathode is carried out at a scanning speed of 1mv s -1 relative to an open-circuit potential of-0.3V; the prepared symmetrical battery is subjected to cycle performance test by utilizing a Xinwei electrochemical test system, and the current density of the symmetrical battery is 1.0-4.0mA cm -2; and (3) carrying out cycle performance test on the zinc ion full battery by using a Xinwei electrochemical test system, wherein the voltage range of the zinc-sodium vanadate battery is as follows: 0.2-1.5V, and current density of 0.2-4A g -1.
The pole pieces of example 1 and comparative example 1 were used as the positive and negative electrodes, zinc sulfate was used as the electrolyte, glass fiber was used as the separator, and after the assembly of the CR2016 type battery case and standing for 2 hours, charge and discharge cycles were performed at a current density of 1mAh -2 and a capacity of 1mAh cm -2, after 10 cycles, the button cell was disassembled, the pole pieces were washed with water and ethanol, the pole pieces were sampled, and photographing by an optical microscope was performed, and the results were shown in fig. 2. Wherein (a) - (c) are photographs of the pole pieces of comparative example 1, from which it can be seen that the bare zinc anode surface is extremely uneven with a large number of non-uniform zinc deposition particles, and the three-dimensional height map shows the pole piece surface roughness due to the large amount of zinc deposited at the initial nucleation sites, resulting in continuous zinc dendrite accumulation; (d) The- (e) plot is a photograph of the pole piece of example 1, from which it can be seen that the pole piece surface is flat and no significant dendrite formation occurs, indicating that zinc is uniformly deposited on the composite anode surface. According to the results of fig. 2, it can be seen that the carbon dot coating can effectively inhibit zinc dendrite formation as an artificial interface protective layer, and greatly reduce the risk of dendrite penetrating through the separator, thereby improving the stability and cycle life of the composite negative electrode.
The electrode sheets of the example 1 and the comparative example 1 are respectively taken as an anode and a cathode, zinc sulfate is taken as electrolyte, glass fiber is taken as a diaphragm, and a CR2016 type battery shell is assembled to prepare a symmetrical battery; after completion and standing for 2 hours, charge-discharge cycle was performed at a current density of 1mAcm -2 and a capacity of 1mAh cm -2, after 25 and 50 cycles of cycle, the coin cell was disassembled, washed with water and ethanol, the pole piece was sampled, and the result of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photographing was shown in FIG. 3. Wherein, (a) the figure is a scanning figure of 25 circles of the zinc cathode cycle, (b) the figure is a scanning figure of 50 circles of the zinc cathode cycle, (c) the figure is a scanning figure of 25 circles of the composite cathode cycle, and (d) the figure is a scanning figure of 50 circles of the composite cathode cycle. It can be seen from the graph (a) that zinc on the surface of the zinc anode is randomly deposited on the surface, and a large amount of block byproducts and dendrites are formed, and at the same time, part of glass fibers are adhered to the surface of the zinc anode due to the penetration of a diaphragm, and as the number of cycles increases to 50, as in the graph (b), more glass fibers appear, a large amount of dead zinc and dendrites begin to appear, which can lead to rapid reduction of zinc utilization rate and seriously affect the service life of the battery. In contrast, as shown in figures (c) and (d), it is evident that very uniform zinc deposition occurs without glass fibers and dendrites appearing on the composite anode surface. It is further shown that carbon spot coating can mitigate the formation of interfacial byproducts and successfully inhibit the formation of zinc dendrites, which will lead to zinc ion batteries with better cycling performance and greater stability.
The pole pieces of example 1 and comparative example 1 were used as the positive and negative electrodes, zinc sulfate was used as the electrolyte, glass fiber was used as the separator, and after the CR2016 type battery case was assembled and left to stand for 2 hours, the button cell was disassembled after charge and discharge cycles were performed at a current density of 1mAh cm -2 and a capacity of 1mAh cm -2, the pole piece was sampled by washing with water and ethanol, and XRD test was performed, and the test results are shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4 (a), in the XRD spectrum of the zinc negative electrode of the button cell of the pole piece in comparative example 1, there is a significant peak of byproduct zinc hydroxysulfate at about 9 °, while in the XRD spectrum of the pole piece in example 1, the intensity of the peak at 9 ° (byproduct zinc hydroxysulfate) is significantly reduced, and as can be seen from the result of comparing the graph (a) in fig. 3, the functionalized carbon dot coating can be used as a physical inert protective layer to isolate direct contact between the electrolyte and the zinc negative electrode, thereby effectively reducing the reactivity of H 2 O and SO 4 2-, SO as to inhibit the generation of byproducts and zinc corrosion, and further improve the cycle life of the zinc negative electrode; the graph (b) in fig. 4 shows tafel curves of corrosion test results of the negative electrode sheet of the button cell, and the corrosion rate of the electrode sheet in example 1 is 1.671mA cm -2, which is far lower than that of the electrode sheet in comparative example 1 (4.126 mA cm -2), and the comparison analysis of the results of the graph (b) in fig. 3 shows that the functionalized carbon dot coating can relieve the corrosion rate of the zinc negative electrode, improve the coulombic efficiency of the zinc negative electrode and improve the service efficiency of the zinc negative electrode.
In summary, based on the abundant functional groups on the surface of the functionalized carbon dots, the functionalized carbon dots can coordinate with zinc ions, thereby adjusting the zinc deposition process and guiding the uniform deposition of zinc; meanwhile, the water-insoluble functionalized carbon point can be used as an inert protective layer to reduce direct contact between water and a zinc metal matrix, improve the stability of the zinc negative electrode and greatly prolong the cycle life of the zinc negative electrode.
The electrode plates in the comparative examples are respectively adopted as positive and negative electrodes, zinc sulfate is adopted as electrolyte, glass fiber is adopted as a diaphragm, a CR2016 type battery shell is assembled into a water system zinc ion symmetrical battery, and electrochemical test is carried out after the assembly is completed and the battery is kept stand for 2 hours.
The long charge and discharge cycles were performed at a current density of 1mAh cm -2 and a capacity of 1mAh cm -2, and the test results are shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery using the electrode sheet in comparative example 1 as the positive electrode and the negative electrode, after 50 hours of circulation, the polarization of the zinc negative electrode increases due to serious interface side reaction and formation of zinc dendrite, which results in failure of the battery, while the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery using the composite electrode sheet in example 1 as the positive electrode and the negative electrode can stably circulate for more than 2000 hours and maintain stable polarization of the battery, further showing that dendrite and side reaction can be reduced under the action of functionalized carbon points, thereby greatly improving the circulation stability of the zinc negative electrode and prolonging the circulation life; in addition, as can be seen from the inset of fig. 5, the polarization potential of the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery in example 1 is significantly lower than that of the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery in the comparative example, which indicates that the addition of carbon dots can reduce the nucleation overpotential and the interfacial charge transfer resistance by zinc, which is beneficial to improving the interfacial reaction kinetics, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the battery.
The charge-discharge cycle was performed at a current density of 0.2-4.0mA cm -2 and the voltage-time curve obtained is shown in FIG. 6. As can be seen from fig. 6 (a), the polarization potential of the zinc anode in example 1 was steadily increased with increasing current density, and no significant polarization increase phenomenon was observed, and particularly, the zinc anode in the aqueous zinc ion symmetric cell in comparative example 1 was still stably operated at a current density of 4mA cm -2. Most importantly, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery of the example can still work normally for 100 hours when the current density is returned to 1.0mA cm -2, while the aqueous zinc ion symmetric battery prepared by the pole piece of comparative example 1 is short-circuited to cause the battery to fail (as shown in fig. 6 (b)), which is caused by the large interface resistance and serious zinc dendrite growth, which indicates that the symmetric battery of the example has more excellent rate performance and can be applied to the condition of no use.
The pole pieces of the example 1 and the comparative example 1 are respectively taken as a negative electrode, zinc sulfate is taken as an electrolyte, glass fiber is taken as a diaphragm, sodium vanadate is taken as a positive electrode material, after the CR2016 type battery case is assembled and stood for 2 hours, charge and discharge cycles are carried out under the conditions that the voltage interval is 0.2-1.5V and the current density is 1A g -1, and the obtained cycle performance diagram and the charge and discharge curves with different circles are shown in figure 7. As can be seen from fig. 7 (a), the aqueous zinc ion full battery prepared by taking the pole piece of example 1 as the negative electrode still has a specific discharge capacity of 234.6mAh g -1 after 500 circles, the capacity retention rate is as high as 81.6%, while the aqueous zinc ion full battery prepared by taking the pole piece of comparative example 1 as the negative electrode only has 61.2mAh g -1 after 500 circles, the capacity retention rate is only 44.4%, as can be seen from the detailed voltage-specific capacity graph 7 (b) and (c), the aqueous zinc ion full battery prepared by taking the pole piece of example 1 still maintains a better discharge platform, while the aqueous zinc ion full battery prepared by taking the pole piece of comparative example 1 becomes smaller and smaller, because the specific discharge capacity of the full battery is rapidly attenuated due to the reduction of the capacity of the zinc negative electrode caused by complex side reactions (hydrogen evolution and zinc corrosion) and dendrite formation of the zinc negative electrode, and the battery is further disabled.
The charge-discharge cycle is carried out under the conditions that the voltage interval is 0.2-1.5V and the current density is 0.1-2A g -1, and the obtained rate performance curve is shown in figure 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, with the gradual increase of the current density, the capacity of the aqueous zinc ion full cell prepared by the pole piece in comparative example 1 rapidly decays, the capacity at the current density of 4A g -1 is only 186.2mAh g -1, the specific capacity decays greatly, and when the current density returns to 0.5A g -1, the capacity is only 307.4mAh g -1, and when the circulation is continued, the capacity is still continuously declined; the water-based zinc ion full battery assembled by the pole piece prepared in the embodiment 1 still has the discharge specific capacity of 204.7mAh g -1 under the current density of 4A g -1, still has the capacity of 329.5mAh g -1 under the current density of 0.5Ag -1, has the capacity retention rate of 97.6 percent, and can still stably circulate. The functional carbon dot coating can obviously inhibit the growth of dendrites, relieve interface side reactions and improve the cycling stability of the zinc cathode, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the performance of the full battery.
