Technical field
The utility model belongs to one kind of Electrochemical Engineering and commercial plant field, more particularly to technical field of battery production
Zinc-nickel secondary batteries.
Background technology
It is huge to the demand of the fossil energies such as coal and oil since human society marches toward industrialization, with coal and oil etc.
The huge consumption of non-renewable energy resources and resource increasingly lacks.The greenhouse effects and increasingly serious sky of CO2 emission aggravation
Rely to us earth home of life of the pollution of gas, ecological environment constitutes more severe threat.Current China energy
Source supply is becoming tight day, particularly electric energy.In recent years, occur electric power large area anxiety and power cuts to limit consumption in many cities and area
One of phenomenon, the main reason for causing shortage of electric power are between the rapid growth of China's economy and the limited growth of energy supply
Contradiction.It is at most industry, especially the high energy consumption industry such as electrolytic aluminium, steel and Organic electro-synthesis that wherein energy demand, which increases,.
Therefore, economizing on energy and electricity task is very urgent, and it is extremely urgent to improve energy utilization rate, economizing on energy and electricity.Greatly develop wind energy, solar energy
It is to realize the important channel of China's energy sustainable development etc. regenerative resource.Renewable energy power generation has time difference property and shakiness
It is qualitative, limit the utilization of its large-scale grid connection.Electric power storage is an effective ways of the instability problem for solving regenerative resource,
Regenerative resource large-scale application can be achieved.The crucial waste that on the one hand avoid electric energy of economize on electricity and utilizing for raising electric energy are imitated
Rate, the construction and operation and power demand moment for making electric power supply system match.On the other hand wind energy, solar energy are strengthened energetically
Etc. the development and utilization of regenerative resource.Because renewable energy power generation is by factors such as season, intensity of sunshine and wind-force changes
Influence, present unstable state feature, therefore, must just develop it is efficient, cheap, pollution less with safe and reliable energy storage technology, the storage
Energy technology had both included the extensive energy storage of long-time high power capacity, and the energy storage technology of electric energy output is also instantaneously adjusted including transient state.
Chemical storage batteries are the important means of the energy storage such as electric tool, electric car, power network, are the energy storage skills developed
Art, it is one of key technology of intelligent grid, intelligent micro-grid and energy internet.Battery has good electrical property, and easily
Accomplish that environment-protecting clean is pollution-free, therefore competitiveness is very strong, application prospect is boundless.
Zinc-base battery is the important branch of chemical storage batteries, is the research and development focus of electrochmical power source.The storage of zinc is abundant, valency
Lattice are cheap, specific capacity is high, and the production and use of zinc-base battery will not produce pollution to environment, be that real green battery is born
Pole material.Due to these good characteristics, zinc-base battery, such as zinc-nickel secondary batteries, Zn-Ni liquid battery, zinc-bromine bettery,
Enjoy researcher to pay close attention to, turn into the important R&D direction of energy-storage battery.
Research to zinc-nickel cell system exceedes a century, and outstanding advantages are that, specific power higher than energy is larger, operating temperature
Scope is wide.But the zinc-nickel cell using zinc oxide/zinc as active material does not enter into industrial applications so far, subject matter is
The life-span of charge and discharge cycles is too short.
Zinc oxide/zinc is the zinc electrode of active material, also known as secondary zinc electrode, the zinc oxide of generally use paste spread type
(ZnO) electrode, because the ZnO formed in discharge process has larger solubility in alkali lye, it is also easy to produce in its cyclic process
Zinc dendrite and zine plate deformation, the life-span of zinc electrode is set to be typically limited to 300 times or so.To improve cycle life characteristics, Ren Menzeng
Machinery is attempted and has filled the technical methods such as formula, the 3rd electrode charge formula again, reached by changing the mode such as charging outside zinc electrode or battery
To the purpose for improving zinc electrode cycle performance.The rechargeable formula of machinery is simple and easy, but there is also replacing negative pole trivial operations, close
The problems such as envelope is not tight.And the 3rd electrode charge is used, still it is also easy to produce zinc dendrite and zinc electrode deformation.In recent years there is researcher using work
Property material and electrolyte " inside and outside " circulation charging modes, deformation and dendrite are produced in charging process to solve zinc electrode
The problem of, but with complicated EGR and electrolysis liquid treating system, make the obvious reduction of ratio energy of battery, and the internal resistance of cell
Greatly, it is difficult in maintenance.Our seminars using ZnO solubility is larger in alkali lye the characteristics of, devise dissolving/appositional pattern liquid stream zinc
Electrode, easily solve the problems such as dendrite, deformation and passivation, the shortcomings that overcoming current Alkaline Zinc electrode cycle life difference, but battery
Ratio energy it is relatively low.Zinc-bromine bettery etc., the characteristics of solubility is larger in High-pH solution using zinc halide, devise dissolving/
Appositional pattern liquid stream zinc electrode improves the shortcomings that zinc electrode cycle life difference in High-pH solution, but the ratio energy of battery also compared with
It is low.
It is zinc electricity using the key reason that zinc oxide/zinc is too short as the life-span of the zinc-nickel cell charge and discharge cycles of active material
The discharging product of pole is zinc hydroxide or zinc oxide, and the solubility in strong base solution is very big, causes zinc electrode to occur when charging
Mass transport limitation and cause dendrite short circuit, redistribution deformation.And the performance of nickel electrodes of the zinc-nickel cell is very outstanding, battery performance determines
In zinc electrode.It is the hand dissolved using the discharging product of more suppression zinc electrodes that calcium (formation calcium zincates) is added in zinc electrode
Section, effect are barely satisfactory.United States Patent (USP) 4224391 propose in alkali or the alkaline earth metal hydroxide aqueous solution add boric acid,
Phosphoric acid or arsenic acid, make excessive 0.02 ~ 3 mol/L of hydroxide, and pH value of solution is kept between 9 ~ 14.This electrolyte reduces zinc
The solubility of electrode discharge product, improve the cycle life of zinc-nickel cell.China Patent Publication No. CN101034762A is disclosed
Similar technical thought, wherein require the mol/L of free alkali 4 ~ 9.United States Patent (USP) 4247610 proposes potassium fluoride and potassium hydroxide
Mixed solution, 18 ~ 30wt% of potassium fluoride, 15 ~ 2wt% of potassium hydroxide, 20 ~ 45wt% of total soluble matters, can suppress zinc electrode discharging product
Dissolving.The it is proposed alkali 2 ~ 12 of United States Patent (USP) 005453336 mol/L, the mol/L of fluoride 0.5 ~ 4,0.5 ~ 4 mole of carbonate/
The mixed electrolyte mixed solution risen, can suppress the dissolving of zinc electrode discharging product.In above-mentioned work, zinc electrode discharging product
Solubility it is still higher, as the solubility of zinc oxide in potassium fluoride 15wt%, the solution of potassium hydroxide 15% still has equal potassium hydroxide
25% or so of solution.
In view of above work can not avoid completely zinc dendrite, zinc-nickel cell still suffer from zinc dendrite caused by battery catastrophic failure
