Abstract
The invention provides a miniature all-solid-state zinc-air battery and a preparation method thereof, wherein the preparation method comprises the steps of preparing 3D printing ink; and sequentially printing an air electrode, a zinc electrode and injecting gel electrolyte on the planar substrate by the 3D printing ink through the 3D printer parameters, performing first solidification after printing each layer of the air electrode, performing second solidification after printing each layer of the zinc electrode, performing freeze drying treatment on the air electrode and the zinc electrode, performing freeze crosslinking and electrolyte soaking treatment on the gel, and finally stacking to prepare the zinc-air battery. The invention develops printable ink of the air electrode, the zinc electrode and the electrolyte, so that the 3D printing manufacture of the zinc-air battery becomes possible; the printed electrodes are designed in an interdigital counter electrode structure, so that the micro-patterning preparation is facilitated, the rapid reciprocating of ions in electrolyte between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is facilitated, and the printed electrodes can be stacked layer by layer as required.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of air batteries, and particularly relates to a miniature all-solid-state zinc-air battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of portable and wearable electronic products, the demand for lightweight, miniaturized, and compact energy devices is becoming stronger. In recent years, miniature energy storage devices have been developed, mainly focusing on supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries. However, due to the limitation of energy storage mechanism, the energy density (300Wh/kg) of lithium ion batteries still cannot meet the requirement of long endurance time of electronic products. The metal-air battery, which uses metal as a negative electrode and uses a matched salt or alkali solution as an electrolyte, has a unique semi-open battery structure, can use air in the surrounding environment as a positive electrode active material, does not occupy the volume and mass of a battery body, and therefore has an energy density (1353Wh/kg) 4.5 times that of a lithium ion battery, and is considered to be one of the best candidates of a next-generation high-specific-energy device. Among them, zinc-air batteries are receiving more and more research attention due to the high abundance and low toxicity of the metal zinc of the negative electrode. However, the miniaturization of the zinc-air battery is challenging to prepare, which mainly shows that the unique solid-liquid-gas three-phase structure of the air electrode is difficult to micro-machine and realize, the strong base corrosive electrolyte is difficult to package, and the package requirement of hydrophobic and breathable is required. Therefore, the miniaturization of the zinc-air battery needs to be comprehensively considered from the aspects of electrode materials, electrode structures, electrolyte forms, device packaging and the like.
In recent years, a gel electrolyte technology is developed, and the gel electrolyte does not flow, so that the compact preparation of an energy device is favorably realized. Therefore, the all-solid-state zinc-air battery has two main types, namely a sandwich structure and a fiber structure, wherein the sandwich structure is formed by respectively attaching a flaky air electrode and a zinc cathode to two sides of a gel electrolyte, and the fiber structure is formed by sequentially wrapping the gel electrolyte and the air electrode by taking the fibrous zinc cathode as a center. The sandwich type zinc-air battery is simple in structure, and the fiber type zinc-air battery is fine and soft. However, the two device forms are difficult to realize miniaturization of the device, and it is difficult to continuously increase the energy density per unit area of the device.
The design of the interdigital counter electrode is beneficial to the rapid transfer of ions in electrolyte between two counter electrodes with short distance, and the three-dimensional design for longitudinally increasing the thickness of the electrode is beneficial to increasing the content of active substances in unit area. In the aspect of preparation methods, the traditional methods such as screen printing based on ink, etching micro-processing based on a mask plate, micro-fluid injection based on a micro-channel and the like can realize the patterning preparation of the interdigital microelectrode in a plane. However, they cannot build up ultra-high thickness micro electrodes, which greatly limits further improvements in energy density of micro energy devices. In recent years, 3D direct-write printing technology has emerged as a revolutionary manufacturing method, which can print and write complex micro patterns directly on a planar substrate with viscous ink based on design drawing input and digital programming, and has geometric controllability and process flexibility, and most importantly, can realize layer-by-layer printing and stacking to prepare ultra-thick micro electrodes. However, no one has succeeded in realizing 3D printed micro zinc-air battery at present, and the challenge difficulty lies in the development of ink rich in nano-scale catalyst particles, zinc powder particles and strong alkaline electrolyte and the printing and molding with high spatial resolution.
