Description

Water-based zinc ion battery diaphragm based on electrostatic spinning and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a water-based zinc ion battery diaphragm based on electrostatic spinning and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Electrochemical energy storage technologies (e.g., lithium, sodium, zinc ion batteries) have evolved over the years to produce heat. Among various energy storage devices, the aqueous zinc ion battery has great application potential in the field of large-scale energy storage due to the advantages of excellent high safety, low cost, high theoretical capacity, low oxidation-reduction potential and the like. However, the problems of dendrite growth of the negative electrode and side reactions (hydrogen evolution reaction and corrosion reaction) on the electrode surface are restricted in practical application, and the coulomb efficiency and the cycle stability of the battery are seriously affected. On the surface of the electrode, the uneven distribution of the electric field on the surface of the zinc sheet and the uneven distribution of the electric field and the irregular dendritic growth are brought about by the uncontrolled growth of dendrites at the protruding parts due to the 'tip effect' existing in the zinc deposition process and the zinc metal corrosion and hydrogen evolution reaction. In order to solve the problems, various strategies are proposed from different angles to cope with the problems, such as surface modification of a zinc negative electrode, structural design of the negative electrode, electrolyte optimization and the like, and certain progress is made in the aspects of novel negative electrodes and electrolyte. The diaphragm is used as an inactive component in the battery, so that direct contact of the anode and the cathode can be avoided, and the diaphragm can be used as an ion channel to have a remarkable influence on the performance of the battery.
Currently, typical separators for aqueous zinc ion batteries include glass fiber, polyolefin separators and filter paper separators, wherein: glass fibers are widely used in aqueous zinc ion batteries due to their porosity, high ionic conductivity and excellent electrolyte wettability, but glass fibers have a strong affinity for zinc, which can guide zinc ions to grow in the direction of the separator during zinc deposition, and can easily puncture the separator to cause short circuits. Polyolefin separators have poor wettability to aqueous electrolytes due to their strong chemical properties, resulting in large interfacial contact resistance that is not suitable for use in aqueous zinc ion batteries. The filter paper membrane has the advantages of good hydrophilicity and low cost, but the irregular pore structure and poor mechanical property of the filter paper membrane can aggravate the uneven deposition of zinc.
Therefore, the design and development of the novel diaphragm material have important significance for realizing long-circulating water-based zinc ion batteries.

As can be seen from fig. 4, on the surface of the negative electrode of the battery using glass fiber, dendrites grow seriously and develop <101> crystal planes, and some residual fiber of glass fiber appears on the surface of the zinc sheet, because the affinity of the glass fiber and the zinc sheet is strong, zinc dendrites are guided to grow toward the direction of the separator, and the structure of the glass fiber is proved to be difficult to maintain structural integrity; the modified polyvinyl alcohol diaphragm used on the surface of the battery cathode has no obvious dendrite growth and no residual fiber on the surface, which proves that the modified polyvinyl alcohol diaphragm prepared by the invention can effectively inhibit dendrite growth.
2. Electrochemical Properties

As can be seen from fig. 5, the battery using the modified polyvinyl alcohol separator maintained good coulombic efficiency after 1000 cycles, about 99%.
The separator (modified polyvinyl alcohol) prepared in example 1 and the glass fiber of comparative example 1 were assembled into a Zn-Zn symmetrical battery according to the method of application example of the present invention, and the long cycle performance of the symmetrical battery was tested at a current density of 2mA cm -2, and the results are shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from fig. 6, the battery using the modified polyvinyl alcohol separator can be stably circulated for more than 1400 hours.

As can be seen from fig. 7, the aqueous zinc ion battery using the modified polyvinyl alcohol separator, which uses the sodium vanadate positive electrode material as well, has a higher initial capacity than the aqueous zinc ion battery using the glass fiber, and also has a slightly higher coulombic efficiency; under the current density of 1Ag -1, the capacity of the aqueous zinc ion battery using the modified polyvinyl alcohol diaphragm after 240 circles is 229.4mAh g -1, and the capacity retention rate is 81.4%; the capacity of the aqueous zinc ion battery using glass fiber was only 121.6mAh g -1, and the capacity retention rate was 60.6%, indicating that the modified polyvinyl alcohol separator showed excellent cycle life.
According to the method of application example of the present invention, the polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber membrane (polyvinyl alcohol), the polyvinyl alcohol porous nanofiber membrane (crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol) and the modified polyvinyl alcohol membrane prepared in the steps (1) - (3) in the example 1 were assembled into a Zn-Zn symmetric battery, and the long cycle performance of the symmetric battery was tested at a current density of 1mA cm -2, and the results are shown in FIG. 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, the modified polyvinyl alcohol separator has stronger ion permeability, ensuring a long cycle life of the battery.
3. Wettability by water
100 Mu L of zinc trifluoromethane iodate serving as an electrolyte of 1mol/L is respectively dripped on the surfaces of the polyvinyl alcohol porous nanofiber membrane (crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol) prepared in the step (2) in the example 1 and the polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber membrane (polyvinylidene fluoride) prepared in the comparative example 2, and the infiltration performance of the two diaphragms to the electrolyte is observed, and the result is shown in FIG. 9. As can be seen from fig. 9, the polyvinylidene fluoride separator has a low degree of wettability to the electrolyte, whereas the crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol separator completely wets the electrolyte. Therefore, the modified polyvinyl alcohol diaphragm prepared by the invention has good infiltration performance and meets the use requirement of a battery diaphragm; however, the polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber membrane prepared in comparative example 2 is not suitable for the application of battery separator due to poor wettability.
