Description

Aqueous zinc ion battery composite electrolyte and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aqueous zinc ion batteries, in particular to an aqueous zinc ion battery composite electrolyte containing acyl acid ester alkane chain organic additives with ketone groups and ester groups, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The water-based zinc ion battery (AZIB) has initiated research hot-water in the technical field of efficient electrochemical energy storage due to the outstanding advantages of green and safe, low cost, excellent electrochemical performance and the like. The performance of aqueous zinc ion batteries depends largely on the reversibility and cycling stability of the zinc anode. However, the zinc anode inevitably faces three problems, and the three are not separable from each other. The solvation structure of zinc ions in the electrolyte is that the zinc ions carry 4-6 water molecules, the migration of the zinc ions brings water to the interface under the action of an electric field, during the zinc deposition process, partial pH value is raised due to hydrogen evolution reaction generated by hydrolysis of the solvation sheath layer at the interface, thereby generating byproducts and further forming a loose Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI), so that the partial electric field is uneven to cause dendrite growth, and notably, the metal Zn has much higher Mohs hardness than the metal Li (Zn is 2.5 and Li is 0.5), so that dendrite problems of the zinc cathode are more serious than those of the lithium metal cathode, rigid Zn dendrites can puncture a diaphragm to cause short circuit of a battery or fracture from the root part to generate dead zinc, so that Coulombic Efficiency (CE) is reduced and capacity is attenuated. Accordingly, a great deal of work is devoted to zinc anode protection to solve the above-mentioned problems.
In order to improve the stability of zinc cathode, there are zinc structure optimization, surface modification, electrolyte optimization and separator design which are conventionally adopted at present, wherein the electrolyte optimization is the easiest way to operate with the lowest cost, and additives can be added into the electrolyte to control solvation structure and electrode interface simultaneously. The additive is adsorbed on the zinc cathode under the action of an electric field or interacts with the zinc cathode to construct a dynamic soft protective layer, and the interface is continuously repaired and reconstructed, so that the problem that the artificial coating is damaged and falls off in long-term circulation is effectively solved. Introducing a substance which is rich in polar groups and has stronger polarity than water, wherein some substances can enter a first solvation sheath layer of zinc ions to replace water so as to reduce hydrogen evolution reaction when the zinc ions are desolvated; some of which can adsorb on the zinc cathode to form hydrogen bond with water molecules upon desolvation of zinc ions to inhibit water decomposition or to regulate growth of diffusion-induced (002) crystal planes upon deposition of zinc ions to inhibit dendrites. Esters are generally incompatible with water and therefore have received little attention as additives to aqueous electrolytes. Although small molecule lactone structures such as gamma-butyrolactone or gamma-valerolactone can be dispersed in water to function in aqueous electrolytes, most of the additives reported so far have the above single effect, and there is a need for an additive which is green, safe and has a multifunctional optimizing effect to stabilize zinc negative electrode and thereby improve the performance of aqueous zinc ion battery.
