Description

Electrolyte for water-based zinc ion battery, preparation method and zinc ion battery obtained by same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of water-based zinc ion batteries, in particular to electrolyte for a water-based zinc ion battery, a preparation method and the obtained zinc ion battery.
Background
With the large-scale application of secondary batteries, the lithium ion batteries, which are mainly used, begin to expose some difficult problems, such as toxic components, high price, and high safety. The water-based zinc ion battery attracts the eyes of researchers due to low cost, high safety and high resource quantity, but the water-based zinc ion battery has two problems on the road of large-scale commercial application, namely, the dendrite growth of the negative electrode cannot be controlled, and the related side reaction induced by the water electrolyte, such as hydrogen evolution corrosion, which cause the zinc negative electrode to be difficult to stably circulate for a long time.
To solve the above two problems, researchers have proposed various proposals such as coating or constructing a protective layer on the negative electrode, but in the volume change caused by repeated charge and discharge, the mechanical strength and adhesion of the protective layer are greatly reduced, so that the above two problems still occur slowly under long-term cycling of the battery. In contrast, the addition of small amounts of additives to conventional electrolytes provides an effective protection for the zinc anode over a relatively long cycle, which results in a high battery life at a low cost.
Chinese patent CN114039108A discloses a high Wen Shuiji resistant zinc ion battery electrolyte, which consists of A, B, C, D and water-soluble zinc salt, component a is nitrile solvent; the component B is sulfoxide solvent and/or amide solvent; the component C is solvent water; the component D is a phosphorus liquid flame retardant, and the volume ratio of the component A to the component B to the component C to the component D is 6:2:1:1 or 5:2:2:1. in the electrolyte, the sulfoxide solvent can form a stable SEI film on the surface of the zinc metal negative electrode to protect the zinc metal negative electrode from being corroded by water under the high-temperature condition. However, the electrolyte is excessively complex in components, excessively high in practical cost, insufficient in functional group utilization rate, and inconspicuous in performance at normal temperature.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at: aiming at the problems, the invention provides an electrolyte for a water-based zinc ion battery, a preparation method and the obtained zinc ion battery, and the invention utilizes sulfonyl in 3-cyclobutene sulfone to desolvate hydrated zinc ions, so that water molecules near a negative electrode are reduced, and meanwhile, the zinc ions are guided to achieve the effect of uniform deposition, thereby effectively solving the problems of dendrite growth and side reaction.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: an electrolyte for an aqueous zinc ion battery, which comprises a soluble zinc salt and 3-sulfolane, wherein the concentration of the 3-sulfolane is 0.01-0.1mol/L (for example, 0.01mol/L, 0.02mol/L, 0.05mol/L, 0.08mol/L, 0.1mol/L and the like) and the structural formula is shown as a formula (1):
further, the soluble zinc salt is at least one of zinc sulfate, zinc sulfate hydrate, zinc chloride hydrate, zinc bromide hydrate, zinc acetate hydrate, zinc trifluoromethane sulfonate, and zinc trifluoromethane sulfonate hydrate.
Further, the concentration of the soluble zinc salt is 0.5 to 2.0mol/L, and may be, for example, 0.5mol/L, 1mol/L, 1.2mol/L, 1.5mol/L, 1.8mol/L, 2mol/L, etc.
Preferably, the concentration of the soluble zinc salt is 1.0mol/L, and the concentration of the 3-cyclobutene sulfone is 0.05mol/L.
The invention further discloses a preparation method of the electrolyte for the water-based zinc ion battery, which comprises the following steps:
A. adding zinc salt into deionized water to prepare a basic electrolyte of the water-washing zinc ion battery;
B. adding 3-sulfolane into the basic electrolyte;
C. stirring uniformly, and standing.
The invention further provides a water-based zinc ion battery, and the electrolyte of the water-based zinc ion battery is the electrolyte.
Further, the water-based zinc ion battery is a symmetrical battery composed of zinc foil, a glass fiber diaphragm and electrolyte; or a half cell composed of zinc foil, current collector and electrolyte; or a zinc foil as a negative electrode, a manganese layered material or a vanadium layered material as a positive electrode, and an electrolyte.
Further, the working density of the water-based zinc ion battery is 0.1-10mA/cm 2
Further, the current collector is any one of copper foil, copper mesh, foam copper, stainless steel mesh, pot foil and foam nickel.
Further, the manganese-based layered material is Mn0 2 The vanadium layered material is V 2 0 5 Or NaV 3 O 8
In summary, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. in the electrolyte, the polarity of the sulfonyl carried on the sulfolane is extremely large, so that the zinc ions can be guided in the electrolyte and are induced to be uniformly deposited on a zinc anode, and in addition, the zinc ions are more prone to be combined with the sulfolane molecules, so that desolvation of the zinc ions is easier (the 3-sulfolane is used in a small amount and an effective SEI film cannot be formed to protect the anode, and the action mechanism is different from that of the patent technology in the background technology), so that the voltage window of the electrolyte is further widened, and the corrosion resistance and the cycle stability of the zinc anode are effectively improved;
2. the 3-sulfolane added in the invention has low price, mature synthesis process and environment protection, and can improve the electrochemical performance of the zinc cathode only by micro addition, and the 3-sulfolane electrolyte is assembled into a symmetrical battery which is 1mA/cm 2 Is cycled for more than 1000 hours at a current density, and has excellent cycle performance.

Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 was the same as example 1 except that the concentration of 3-sulfolane was 0.2mol/L.
Performance inspection and result analysis
Commercial zinc foil was assembled as a negative electrode with the 1mol/L zinc sulfate electrolyte and the 3-sulfolane-containing electrolyte obtained in example 1, respectively, to a pair of batteries, and subjected to constant current charge and discharge test.
