Wherein, the metallic zinc has 820mAh g -1 Is considered to be an ideal negative electrode material, for example, in terms of high theoretical specific capacity, suitable redox potential (-0.76V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), low cost, etc. However, weak acid ZnSO is currently in common use 4 The electrolyte has higher proton activity than the alkaline electrolyte and thus the thermodynamic tendency of the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) is stronger. Zinc dendrite growth, continued corrosion of the zinc plates, and accumulation of HER byproducts all reduce cell performance. Therefore, the protection of the zinc cathode can effectively relieve the failure of the battery and is hopeful to avoid potential safety hazards, and the practical process of the water-based zinc ion battery is accelerated.
Various strategies to inhibit dendrite growth and extend cycling performance were compared: various electrolyte additives such as triethyl phosphate, sodium glutamate, etc. have been used to inhibit HER, and although this has proven to be effective, electrolyte depletion occurs after long-term cycling; strategy for optimizing the electrolyte with high concentration of triflate is too costly to be suitable for large scale implementation; whereas alloying of zinc reduces the average capacity due to the introduction of inert metals. In contrast, a functional surface protective layer (e.g., al 2 O 3 、TiO 2 、ZrO 2 Carbon materials, polymers, etc.) can modify the surface of the metal electrode to induce uniform nucleation. Wherein the polymer selected to have a suitable functional group (e.g., a pyridine group) can inhibit Zn by complexation 2+ Is considered as a strategy that can significantly improve the durability of zinc negative electrodes. However, the interfacial resistance and kinetic properties of the polymer coating need to be considered simultaneously.

Mu.L cm -2 The P4VP solution was uniformly coated on the surface of the pretreated zinc sheet (the pretreatment of the zinc cathode was the same as in example 1), followed by drying at 60℃for 1 hour, and the zinc sheet coated with the polymer protective layer was cut into electrode sheets having a diameter of 12mm for use.
The applicant carried out a microscopic examination of the obtained zinc anode with the P4VP coating modification to obtain a scanning electron micrograph shown in fig. 6 b. As shown in fig. 6b, the P4 VP-coated zinc sheet described in the present comparative example has an improved surface flatness compared to a blank zinc sheet, but there is still a scratch structure that can be seen, and there is a small amount of agglomeration of P4 VP.
The applicant further modified the zinc anode with P4VP coating described in this comparative example in a Zn-containing state 2+ And (3) soaking in the electrolyte for 7 days, and then performing scanning electron microscope detection again to compare the corrosion resistance of the P4VP coating. As shown in fig. 6d, after the zinc sheet coated with P4VP is immersed in the electrolyte, the surface has serious particle aggregation and uneven dispersion.
Applicant furtherTo soak Zn 2+ XPS test is carried out on the zinc anode with P4VP coating modification before and after electrolyte, and the P4VP and Zn are verified 2+ Coordination between them. As can be seen in the N1s XPS spectrum 2b of the P4VP, the binding energy of nitrogen element corresponding to the P4VP is shifted by 1.59eV towards the high binding energy direction before and after the electrolyte is soaked, and the shift of the higher energy indicates that the pyridine nitrogen and Zn in the P4VP molecule 2+ The coordination between the two is stronger than that of P2VP. It is this strong complexation with low steric hindrance that induces further aggregation of the byproducts, which is consistent with SEM results.
The applicant further assembled the zinc anode with the P4VP coating modification described in this comparative example into a Zn symmetric battery for constant current (1 mA cm -2 ) And (3) carrying out a cycle test for 50 hours, and after the cycle is finished, disassembling the button cell, taking out the cycled P4VP-Zn, and carrying out SEM (scanning electron microscope) detection to evaluate the dendrite inhibition capability of the coating. As shown in fig. 3d, the coating of P4VP, while inhibiting zinc dendrite formation, can inhibit charge transfer at the electrode surface due to by-product reagglomeration induced by its strong complexation, thereby reducing cycling stability.
Verification embodiment
In this example, the P2VP described in examples 1 to 3 and examples 7 to 8 was first subjected to Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) test and a zinc anode with P2VP coating modification was assembled into a Zn symmetric cell for constant current (1 mA cm) -2 ) The following long-cycle stability test gave the test results shown in table 1. P2VP with different polymerization degrees can be obtained by regulating the reaction time (2-50 h), so that the protection effect of the P2VP coating on the zinc cathode is optimized.
TABLE 1 Regulation of degree of polymerization for Zinc cathode protection
Further, the applicant conducted contact angle tests on zinc cathodes with P2VP, PS and P4VP coating modifications described in example 2 and comparative examples 1-2, and the results are listed in table 2. Compared with blank zinc sheets, the zinc sheets coated with the P2VP and the P4VP have better wettability to electrolyte, and the corresponding contact angles are 66.5 degrees and 54.0 degrees respectively. In addition, the contact angles of the electrolyte on Zn, P2VP-Zn and P4VP-Zn surfaces gradually decrease with time. In contrast to the PS-coated zinc sheet, the contact angle of the electrolyte on the surface of the sheet does not decrease with time, which indicates that the PS-coated layer has poor wettability with respect to the electrolyte, and the poor wettability is unfavorable for mass transfer between electrode interfaces.
Further, the applicant assembled zinc cathodes with P2VP, PS and P4VP coating modifications described in example 2 and comparative examples 1-2 into Zn Ti asymmetric cells and Zn symmetric cells for long-cycle stability test and impedance test under constant current, and the detection results are shown in table 2. It can be seen that zinc anodes with P2VP coating modifications have higher coulombic efficiency, lower charge transfer resistance, and longer stable voltage duration.
TABLE 2 comparison of Zinc cathode Performance with P2VP, PS and P4VP coating modifications
Further, the quaternized P2VP described in examples 4 to 6 and examples 9 to 10 was subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy 1 H NMR) analysis the quaternization degree of the product calculated by the integral area of the characteristic peaks, and assembling a zinc anode with the quaternization P2VP coating modification into a Zn symmetric battery for high current density (10 mA cm) -2 ) The following long-cycle stability test gave the test results shown in table 3. P2VP with different quaternization degrees can be obtained by regulating and controlling the reaction time (5-200 h), so that acting force between the coordination group and the metal ion is regulated and controlled, and the protection effect of the coating on the zinc cathode is further optimized.
