Positive electrode of a kind of lithium-air battery and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of positive active material and the anodal preparation method of air of lithium-air battery.
Background technology
Along with day by day consuming and energy demand growing of fossil energy, extremely urgent to the research and development of novel energy material.Electric energy is as far back as the eighties of last century popularization and application, and battery is to use one of common tool of electric energy, and studying now and using is lithium ion battery more widely.Because the lithium ion battery energy density is high, long service life, self-discharge rate low with advantage such as memory-less effect, lithium ion battery is just receiving World Science man's concern.But present business-like lithium ion battery mainly also is based on LiCoO
2Deng the rocking chair mechanism of lithium ion inlay compound, positive electrode becomes the restriction of lithium ion battery energy density, and end-point energy density can only reach 400Wh/Kg, so, the unbearable important task of lithium ion battery, it is imperative to seek new electrochemical power source approach.
The research of lithium-air battery is arisen at the historic moment, and it is negative pole with the lithium metal, and the porous electrode of being made up of carbon-based material is anodal; In the discharge process; Lithium metal loses battery at negative pole becomes lithium ion, and it is anodal that electronics arrives porous through external circuit, with airborne oxygen reduction; This reaction continues to carry out, and battery just can provide energy to load.Charging process is just in time opposite, and under the effect of charging voltage, the discharging product that produces in the discharge process is at first oxidized at the porous positive pole; Again emit oxygen; Lithium ion then is reduced into lithium metal at negative pole, treats that this process carries out fully, and then battery can provide energy to load again again.This shows that lithium-air battery can not produce environmentally harmful material in the whole charging and discharging process, is the green process of zero pollution fully.
Another significant advantage of lithium-air battery be exactly anodal active material oxygen be to be directed to surrounding air; Thereby be inexhaustible; And need not be stored in inside battery; So not only reduced cost but also alleviated the weight of battery, so the energy density of battery depends on lithium metal one side fully.Can draw through Theoretical Calculation, the energy density of lithium-air battery can reach the superelevation theoretical energy density of 13200Wh/Kg, and this energy density is enough to compare favourably with gasoline, thereby is expected to complete gasoline replacing, really realizes pure electric automobile.
Lithium-air battery has huge application potential, but study prematurity still at present, still has the solution that requires study of many key technology points.For example, as positive active material, the inevitable requirement positive electrode can help the oxygen molecule rapid diffusion with airborne oxygen, with the electronics fast reaction of battery.The air of prior art for preparing is anodal, and oxygen molecule can not rapid diffusion, and the cycle performance of battery is relatively poor.

The preparation method that a kind of air is anodal may further comprise the steps:
1) with described mixture melt, abrasive dust, sintering, obtains powders A;
2) acetylene black of 25-50wt%, powders A and the polymeric media of 50-75wt% are mixed in the water, stir, be applied to the two sides of Ni-based material, and Ni-based material is clipped between two corrosion resistant plates, flatten, drying, sintering under the protective atmosphere obtains the air positive pole.
In the step 1), described fusion temperature is 1200-1400 ℃.
In the step 1), the temperature of sintering is 800-1000 ℃.
In the step 1), the time of sintering is 1-2h.
Step 2) in, described protective atmosphere is a kind of among He, Ne, the Ar.
Step 2) in, described sintering temperature is 200-300 ℃, and described sintering time is 20-30min.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: anode of the present invention can be participated in electrode reaction with extraneous oxygen for oxygen there being the air material of catalytic reduction effect.Compare with traditional lithium ion battery, positive electrode is not cobalt acid lithium, lithium nickelate, LiMn2O4, LiFePO4 etc., so the consumption of valuable metal is few, thereby has reduced cost.The cycle performance that contains the anodal air cell of air of the present invention is better.
