Description

一种用于水下的串联型金属 /氧气电池堆  Tandem metal/oxygen battery stack for underwater use
 Ship
本发明涉及化学电源, 具体地说是一种用于海水或淡水中的金属 /氧气电池堆。 背景技术  This invention relates to chemical power sources, and more particularly to a metal/oxygen battery stack for use in seawater or fresh water. Background technique
随着海洋及淡水水下探测的日益深入,水下用电子设备对电源的需求日益增加。种类繁 多的电子设备要求电池具有容量大、 功率高、 稳定性好等特点。 常规的一次电池, 如锌锰、 锌银等, 价格高、 而且质量和体积比能量低, 储存性能差。 如果用铅酸、 镍氢、 锂离子等二 次电池, 一方面, 受其额定容量限制, 电池的水下连续使用时间有限; 另一方面, 在深海工 作时, 需将电池密封于耐压容器中进行保护, 尤其是锂离子电池, 增加了系统的复杂性。  With the increasing depth of underwater and freshwater underwater detection, the demand for power supplies for underwater electronic devices is increasing. A wide variety of electronic devices require batteries with high capacity, high power, and good stability. Conventional primary batteries, such as zinc-manganese, zinc-silver, etc., are expensive, have low mass and volumetric energy, and have poor storage properties. If a secondary battery such as lead acid, nickel-metal hydride or lithium ion is used, on the one hand, the battery has limited underwater continuous use time due to its rated capacity; on the other hand, when working in the deep sea, the battery needs to be sealed in a pressure-resistant container. Protection in the middle, especially lithium-ion batteries, increases the complexity of the system.
金属 /氧气电池利用盐水或碱液作为电解质, 具有在水下使用的阳极为镁、 铝金属或合 金, 阴极氧化剂为氧气、 过氧化氢。 该类电池的优点有: 一、 能量密度高。 由于这类电池可 由海水直接提供电解质, 因此其理论质量比能量高达数百瓦时每千克。 二、 原料来源丰富。 镁、铝均为地球储量大的金属元素, 且价格低廉。 三、 储存性能好。 该类电池在不接触电解 质 (如海水) 时处于不激活状态, 其储存性能好, 储存时间长达数年。 由于单体金属 /氧电 池的工作电压只有 1-1.5V, 无法满足用电设备的较高额定电压的需求, 而使用 DC-DC升压 电路则会大大降低电池的效率。 因此, 需要将若干金属 /氧电池串联起来, 以获得更高的输 出电压。 但是, 金属 /氧电池工作时阳极会发生析氢反应, 在水下特别是海水中使用时, 需 同时解决氢气排出和串联过程中由于离子导通引起的漏电流问题。 此外, 金属 /氧电池堆在 工作时会排出大量的热量, 电池堆的散热也是影响系统可靠运行的关键因素。 发明内容  The metal/oxygen battery utilizes brine or lye as the electrolyte, and the anode used under water is magnesium, aluminum metal or alloy, and the cathode oxidant is oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. The advantages of this type of battery are as follows: 1. High energy density. Since such batteries can supply electrolyte directly from seawater, their theoretical mass ratio energy is up to hundreds of watt-hours per kilogram. Second, the source of raw materials is rich. Magnesium and aluminum are all metal elements with large earth reserves and are inexpensive. Third, the storage performance is good. These batteries are inactive when they are not in contact with electrolytes (such as seawater). They have good storage performance and can last for several years. Since the operating voltage of the single metal/oxygen battery is only 1-1.5V, the higher rated voltage of the powered device cannot be met, and the use of the DC-DC boost circuit greatly reduces the efficiency of the battery. Therefore, several metal/oxygen cells need to be connected in series to obtain a higher output voltage. However, when the metal/oxygen battery is operated, the anode will undergo a hydrogen evolution reaction. When used in underwater water, especially in seawater, it is necessary to simultaneously solve the problem of leakage current caused by ion conduction during hydrogen discharge and series connection. In addition, the metal/oxygen battery stack emits a large amount of heat during operation, and the heat dissipation of the battery stack is also a key factor affecting the reliable operation of the system. Summary of the invention
本发明针对现有技术的不足,提供一种金属 /氧电池堆结构, 该电池堆结构通过对单体电 池的封闭设计并在单体电池外壳侧面上方设置注液孔, 使电池可使用较高浓度的电解液(氯 化钠或氢氧化钾), 同时也解决了由于离子导通而引起的漏电流的问题; 在顶部设置用于分 割外界海水的疏水透气层, 解决了金属 /氧电池在海水或淡水中的排气问题; 将金属 /氧电池 单体间进行分割, 在单体间留出海水可自由进出的空间, 利用海水在单池表面的流动降低电 堆温度, 保证电池堆的可靠运行。  The present invention is directed to the deficiencies of the prior art, and provides a metal/oxygen battery stack structure. The battery stack structure can be used by using a closed design of the single battery and a liquid injection hole above the side of the single battery case. The concentration of the electrolyte (sodium chloride or potassium hydroxide) also solves the problem of leakage current caused by ion conduction; the hydrophobic gas permeable layer for dividing the outer seawater is disposed at the top, and the metal/oxygen battery is solved. Exhaust problem in seawater or fresh water; Separate the metal/oxygen battery cells, leave space for free access to and from the water between the cells, use the flow of seawater on the surface of the single cell to reduce the temperature of the stack, and ensure the stack Reliable operation.
