Definitions
- This invention is in the technical field of energy storage devices, particularly alkaline batteries. More particularly, the present invention is in the technical field of rechargeable batteries employing an iron negative electrode in an alkaline electrolyte, and the formation of such a battery.
- Ni-Fe battery is a rechargeable battery having a nickel(III) oxy-hydroxide positive electrode and an iron negative electrode, with an alkaline electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide.
- the overall cell reaction can be written as:
- Ni-Fe batteries are often used in backup situations where it can be continuously charged and may last for more than 20 years. However, due to its low specific energy, poor charge retention, and high cost of manufacturing, other types of rechargeable batteries have displaced Ni-Fe in most applications.
- Ni-Fe cells are typically charged galvanostatically and should not be charged from a constant voltage supply since they can be damaged by thermal runaway. Thermal runaway occurs due to a drop in cell voltage as gassing begins due to overcharge, raising the cell temperature, increasing current draw from a constant potential source, further increasing the gassing rate and temperature.
- Equation (1) the overall cell reaction does not involve the battery electrolyte; however, alkaline conditions are required for the individual electrode reactions. Therefore, iron-based batteries such as Ni-Fe, Fe-air, and Fe-Mn0 2 batteries all employ a strong alkaline electrolyte typically of KOH, typically in the range of 30 - 32% KOH. KOH is preferred due to its higher conductivity and low freezing point. LiOH may be added in cells subject to high temperatures due to its stabilization effects on the nickel electrode, improving its charge acceptance at elevated temperatures.
- iron electrodes A known performance issue of iron electrodes is premature passivation of the iron surface.
- iron electrodes whose active mass consists of pure iron become passivated after a limited number of cycles. This is apparently due to the formation of iron oxides that form on the electrode surface, inhibiting the charging process.
- a disadvantage of the prior art associated with adding sulfur or sulfides to the iron active mass is loss of sulfide over time due to dissolution of sulfide into the electrolyte and resultant oxidation to sulfate, which is ineffective in providing lasting activation of the iron electrode.
- Ni-Fe batteries One problem associated with current Ni-Fe batteries is the high rate of self-discharge associated with hydrogen evolution occurring at the charged iron electrode. This occurs due to the fact that the potential for hydrogen evolution is less negative than the potential for the electrode reaction during charge of Fe(OH)2 to Fe. Kinetic effects allow for the charge reaction to proceed, but at low efficiencies.
- the fully charged negative electrode consists of metallic iron.
- the iron electrode is in a near fully charged state, existing predominately of metallic iron.
- the Ni(OH)2 electrodes exist in a fully discharged state in the assembled cell.
- the resultant as-constructed cell is largely out of balance with respect to state of charge.
- multiple cycles are required to achieve appropriate cell balance by bringing both electrodes to the same state of charge.
- copious amounts of hydrogen gas are generated at the charged iron electrode during charging of the nickel positive plates.
- the formation process is a time-consuming and expensive operation in the manufacture of rechargeable batteries due to the need for expensive battery cycling equipment. As formation time increases, additional capital equipment is required to meet the needs for cycling of multiple batteries, resulting in significant cost. A process reducing formation and activation time, and complexity, would result in significant savings to the battery manufacturer, and would be welcomed by the industry.
- the present invention provides one with a formation process that significantly reduces the overall time required for formation and activation of a battery employing an iron electrode.
- a ternary electrolyte comprised of NaOH, LiOH, and a sulfide additive in conjunction with an iron electrode of an adherent type on a single sided substrate, the time required to achieve proper cell balance is significantly reduced, and yielding a battery with improved performance.
- the process comprises activating a battery comprising an iron electrode.
- the process comprises the steps of first providing a battery comprising a cathode and an iron anode, with the battery further comprising an electrolyte comprising NaOH, LiOH and a sulfide.
- the battery is then cycled to equalize the state-of-charge of the cathode and iron anode.
- the cathode is a nickel cathode.
- the sulfide is a metal sulfide, e.g., an alkali metal sulfide such as sodium sulfide.
- the invention comprises a process for formation and activation of a battery with an iron electrode in contact with a particular electrolyte, said electrolyte being a sodium hydroxide based electrolyte with the NaOH generally having a concentration of 5-7.5 M in the electrolyte.
- the electrolyte contains lithium hydroxide and a metal sulfide.
- the metal sulfide is generally present in an amount ranging from 1-2 wt %.
- the lithium hydroxide concentration is generally in the range of from 0.5 to 2.0 M, e.g., 1 M.
- the NaOH concentration is about 6 M
- the LiOH concentration is on the order of 1 M
- the sodium sulfide concentration in the electrolyte is about 1 wt%.
- Formation or activation is the process in which a freshly assembled cell or battery is electrically charged and discharged to fully activate the electrodes.
- Most conventional batteries such as NiCd or NiMH have electrodes that are in a fully discharged state as assembled.
- a Ni-Fe battery poses a challenge in formation in that the negative electrode is comprised predominately of metallic iron, which represents the fully charged state of the electrode.
- nickel electrodes of a pasted or sintered construction exist in a fully discharged state.
- the iron electrode is combined with a conventional nickel positive electrode, the result is a cell which is out of balance with respect to state-of-charge.
- it is necessary to equalize the electrodes' states- of-charge This is done by electrically charging and discharging the cell or battery repeatedly until equalization occurs.
- the inventors have found unexpectedly that the use of a sodium-based electrolyte improves charge retention compared to the conventional KOH electrolyte.
- the entire cell is also more stable and effective at high temperatures due to the addition of LiOH, which improves charge acceptance of the positive electrode, particularly a Ni(OH) 2 positive electrode, thereby increasing cell capacity.
- the presence of sulfide in the electrolyte has been discovered to be important for the effective deposition of sulfur on the iron negative electrode.
- a cell or battery with an iron anode performs better with sulfide in the electrolyte, as the sulfide deposits on the iron anode as a performance enhancer after only a few cycles.
- the sulfide is believed to increase the effective surface area of the iron, so one obtains more utilization of the iron active mass, resulting in higher capacity and power.
- the added sulfide is believed to form iron sulfides, two of the form being FeS and Fe2S 3 , both of which are more electrically conductive than Fe(OH)2 which normally forms on the iron surface.
- These conductive sites on the iron surface create a situation in which the oxidized layer that forms on the iron surface is thicker before true electrical passivation occurs allowing for more efficient use of the underlying iron active material.
- Various sulfide salts may be employed to obtain this desirable result.
- the salt is a metal salt, and in one embodiment an alkali metal salt.
- the sulfide salt is sodium sulfide. It has been discovered that this improvement in active material utilization and electrode conductivity not only improves battery performance and life, it allows for more rapid formation and activation of as-assembled batteries.
- the present process comprising the steps of first providing a battery comprising a cathode and an iron anode, with the battery further comprising an electrolyte comprising NaOH, LiOH and a sulfide. The battery is then cycled to equalize the state-of-charge of the cathode and iron anode.
- the cathode is a nickel cathode.
- the sulfide is a metal sulfide, e.g., an alkali metal sulfide such as sodium sulfide.
- the NaOH concentration in the electrolyte of the battery is in the range of from 5 - 7.5 M, e.g., about 6 M
- the LiOH concentration is in the range of from about 0.5 to 2.0 M, e.g., about 1 M
- the metal sulfide is present in an amount ranging from about 1 to 2 wt %. Cycling continues in the presence of the foregoing electrolyte until the state-of-charge of the cathode, e.g., nickel cathode, and iron anode are about equalized. Additional cycles after equalization is achieved can also be made to further condition the battery.
- Ni-Fe batteries are typically of a pocket plate design, in which the active material is contained within a structure of interlocking perforated nickel plated strips.
- iron powder can be sintered into a solid structure. More recently, iron powder has been pasted into a porous nickel felt (J.Bockris, B. Conway, E. Yeager, R. White, "Comprehensive Treatise of Electrochemistry, Volume 3, Plenum Press, 1981). Such electrodes are bulky, resulting in low energy density, and are expensive to fabricate.
- the iron electrode used is one wherein iron powder is mixed with a binder and coated onto a single substrate such as a perforated metal foil, expanded metal, or Ni foam.
- the binder comprises polyvinyl alcohol. The electrode is subsequently dried under controlled conditions and compacted to the desired thickness and porosity.
- this electrode may contain various additives, including sulfur or a sulfur- containing compound.
- formation time for a cell containing an iron electrode in conjunction with a Ni(OH)2 positive electrode and employing a ternary electrolyte of NaOH, LiOH, and a sulfide additive such as Na 2 S reduces the formation time to as little as 2 hours, while yielding high initial capacity at low to moderate rates.
- Conditioning cycling at C/2 charge, C/10 discharge enables Ni-Fe cells with high capacity at moderate to high rates.
- the C-rate is used to signify a charge or discharge rate equal to the capacity of a battery divided by 1 hour.
- 2 C is twice the current needed to discharge a battery in one hour (fully discharged or charge a battery in 30 min at 2 C rate). For a 5 Ah battery, 2 C current would be 10 A. At C/10, it would take ten hours to discharge a fully charged battery.
- the cycling protocol can be any conventional cycling protocol.
- the protocol for the initial charging of the cell (cycling) is charging the cell between the C/2 and 2 rate until the cell is charged between 100 to 250% of its rated capacity.
- the charge rate is 1C.
- the first discharge is generally at the C/5 to C/20 rate to a voltage between 1.1 to 0.9V.
- the discharge rate is about C/10.
- the discharge rate is at C to C/20 rate until the cell voltage reaches between 1.1 to 0.9V.
- the cells can be further conditioned by cycling an additional one to ten cycles.
- the charge can be, for example, at the C/4 to 1C rate until the cell is charged at least 120 to 200% of its rated capacity. In one embodiment, the charge rate is about C/2.
- a laboratory Ni-Fe cell was constructed by combining an Fe electrode pasted onto nickel plated steel (NPS) in conjunction with 2 Ni(OH) 2 electrodes of sintered construction having a rated capacity of 0.5 Ah.
- An electrolyte comprised of 8.3 N KOH with a K/Na/Li ratio of 6.3/1/1 was employed.
- the cell was formed by constant current charging at a rate of C/50 for 75 hours (0.01 amps). At the conclusion of charge, the cell was discharged at a rate of 0.01 A and delivered the rated capacity of 0.5 Ah.
- a laboratory Ni-Fe cell was constructed employing an Fe electrode pasted onto NPS in conjunction with two Ni positive electrodes of pasted construction.
- the cell employed a mixed electrolyte of 6 M KOH with 1 M LiOH added.
- Cell rated capacity was 8.5 Ah.
- the cell was formed at a constant current of 1.7 amps for 12 hours, or a total of 20.4 Ah input (240% of rated capacity). On discharge at C/10 rate, the cell delivered just over 9 Ah.
- Pulse charging was explored as a method to reduce formation time.
- a laboratory Ni- Fe cell was constructed employing a pasted Fe electrode in conjunction with two Ni sintered positive electrodes.
- the cell employed a mixed electrolyte of 6 M KOH with 1 M LiOH added.
- Cell rated capacity was 1.4 Ah. Pulses of various pulse widths from milliseconds to 10 seconds in length were evaluated, with currents ranging from 1.4 amps to up to 5.6 amps. A total charge input of 2.24 Ah was employed. On discharge, the cell exhibited low capacity, yielding only 0.2 Ah.
- a series of lab Ni-Fe cells were constructed by placing 3 pasted Fe electrodes in conjunction with 2 Ni sintered positive electrodes to provide a cell with a rated capacity of 0.8 Ah. Cells were formed and cycled in a series of electrolytes in the presence or absence of Na 2 S. The base electrolyte was 20% KOH, with 50 g/L LiOH added. Control cells did not contain Na 2 S, while experimental cells contained 1%, 2%, or 3% by weight Na 2 S. All cells were formed by charging at C/10 rate for 24 hours. After formation, cells were charged at C/10 and discharged at various rates ranging from C/10 to 2C.
- a series of cells were constructed employing pasted iron electrodes in combination with sintered Ni positive electrodes. The rated capacity of these cells was 1.6 Ah.
- the base electrolyte was 6 M NaOH, 1 M LiOH. Different levels of Na 2 S were added to the cells, specifically 0%, 1 weight %, 2 weight %, and 3 weight %. Cells were then formed galvanostatically. Cells were initially charged at C rate for 2 hours. Cells were then conditioned by charging at C/2, followed by discharge at C/10, for a total of 5 cycles.
