Detailed Description
The invention is further described below in connection with examples and figures, which should be understood by those skilled in the art that the examples and figures are for the purpose of better understanding of the invention and are not intended to be limiting in any way.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a zinc-silver secondary battery according to the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the zinc-silver secondary battery of the present invention mainly includes a case 8, a positive electrode 7, a negative electrode 5, an electrolyte 6, a separator 4, a positive collector bar 2, and a negative collector bar 1.
The positive electrode 7, the negative electrode 5 and the electrolyte 6 are located within a housing 8, and a separator 4 separates the positive electrode 7 from the negative electrode 5. The separator 4 is higher in height than the positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 5.
The positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 5 may each take the form of a stack of stacked plates. The negative electrode 5 can be formed by mixing zinc powder with PVA water solution to prepare paste, and then coating the paste on a current collector for pressing. The mixed zinc powder consists of 70-80% of zinc oxide and 20-30% of zinc, and preferably corrosion inhibitor with the mass fraction of 2-5% is added. The mass composition of the mixed zinc powder in each example is as follows: 72% zinc oxide, 24.6% zinc and 3.4% corrosion inhibitor. The concentration of PVA water solution is 1% -5%; each example uses a 3% PVA solution in water. The positive electrode 7 is a conventional sintered silver electrode.
The positive collector bar 2 protrudes upward from the positive electrode 7 through the case 8, and the portion of the positive collector bar 2 inside the case 8 is covered with the positive electrode insulating sheath 3. The positive electrode insulating sleeve 3 is a polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve and is fixed on the positive current collecting strip 2 in a hot melting mode. The negative collector bar 1 also protrudes upwards from the negative electrode 5 out of the housing 8, and the part of the negative collector bar 1 in the housing 8 is also sheathed with a negative electrode insulating sleeve, which is likewise made of polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve and is fixed to the negative collector bar 1 in a hot-melt manner. The positive and negative current collector bars can also be completely covered by polytetrafluoroethylene sleeves.
The upper edge of the positive electrode 7 is covered with a nonwoven artificial graft insulating film by about 10mm, and the upper edge of the negative electrode 5 is covered with a reusable cellulose insulating film by about 10 mm.
The diaphragm 4 is formed by adopting non-woven synthetic fiber nylon cloth and carrying out modification treatment: dissolving zirconium potassium carbonate into polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion to form a soaking solution, wherein the mass ratio of the zirconium potassium carbonate to the polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion is 25% -30%; and (3) soaking the nonwoven synthetic fiber Ni Long Bufang in the soaking solution for 4 to 6 hours, taking out, hanging and airing at room temperature. In each example, polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion mixed solution is adopted to soak for 5 hours, and then the mixture is dried. The nonwoven synthetic fiber nylon cloth after the modification treatment may be compounded with a reusable cellulose film, a nonwoven synthetic fiber mat, and/or a polypropylene material to form a composite separator.
The electrolyte 6 consists of potassium hydroxide and ZnO, wherein the mass concentration of the potassium hydroxide is 40-45%, and the mass concentration of the ZnO is 3-6%. The composition of electrolyte 6 in each example was: potassium hydroxide: 43%. ZnO:5%; the balance being water. The electrolyte 6 is filled after the positive and negative electrodes (electrode groups) are housed in the case 8.
