Description

High power capacity alkali metal/oxidant cell
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to electrochemical cell, and relates more particularly to the battery formed by alkali metal negative pole with the positive pole comprising nickel, magnesium (manganese) or ferrum.
Background technology
Battery is that wherein electronics and ion come and go the electrochemical appliance to realize electrochemical reaction between negative pole and positive pole.Voltage and the capacity of battery are determined by electrode material.In conventional batteries, all parts including negative material, positive electrode, barrier film, electrolyte and current collector are loaded in the container that volume is fixing.As long as battery is assembled, its energy and capacity are exactly unmodifiable.Flow-thru cell is formed by being ion exchanged the current collector (electrode) that film separates, and its negative pole and positive electrode are stored in independent holding vessel simultaneously.Negative pole and positive electrode circulate in flow-thru cell, wherein occur electrochemical reaction with release and to store energy.Therefore, battery capacity and energy are determined by the following: (1) electrode material (negative electrode solution (anolyte) and positive pole liquid (catholyte)), (2) concentration of negative electrode solution and positive pole liquid, and the volume of (3) negative electrode solution and positive pole liquid holding vessel.Conventional prior art negative pole and positive electrode generally react with the aqueous containing some redox couples or non-aqueous solution (electrolyte).
In general, metal being used as negative material and can obtain high voltage in the battery, their low-molecular-weight provides big capacity simultaneously.Such as, lithium has relative to H2/H+Peak capacity for the most nagative potential of-3.04 volts (V) and 3860 MAHs every gram (mAh/g).High voltage and Large Copacity cause the overall high-energy of battery.It addition, in metal ion battery, sodium, potassium, magnesium, nickel, zinc, calcium, aluminum etc. are the good candidate as negative material.
Prior art positive electrode focuses on metal ion host compound (hostcompounds).Metal ion can be extracted from the clearance space of electrode material in charging process and is inserted in material during discharge process.It should be noted, however, that the lattice of charge and discharge process serious distortion material, this substantially destroys their structure after some circulations.Additionally, these positive electrodes are only provided that the capacity less than metal negative electrode material 1/10th.Accordingly, it would be desirable to develop new positive electrode to mate the more high power capacity of negative material and the long circulation life of (2) displaying metal ion battery with (1).
In 1996, Abraham and Jiang reported wherein oxygen and is used as the polymer dielectric system rechargeable lithium/oxygen cell of positive electrode [non-patent literature 1].Oxygen in air constantly flows into battery and provides the very high ratio energy of 5200 watt-hour every kilogram (Wh/kg).But, oxygen is just having some shortcomings.First, expensive eelctro-catalyst is used in battery to drop the aerodynamic blockage of hypoxic effect.Second, the blunt electrochemical reaction of oxygen has manufactured big overpotential in lithium/air cell.3rd, lithium/air cell must keep the positive pole opened to allow air into.Similarly, oxygen positive pole is also used in zinc-air battery [patent documentation 1].
In 2011, Lu and Goodenough disclosed the aqueous positive-pole [non-patent literature 2] for lithium ion battery.They use water soluble, redox to such as Fe (CN)6 3/Fe(CN)6 4Aqueous solution as positive pole.Around in environment, lithium/aqueous positive-pole battery works under about 3.4 volts.This battery shows little overpotential, high coulombic efficiency and long circulation life.But, water is inert material in electrochemical system, and it reduces the specific capacity of positive pole.Although the design of lithium/circulation positive battery can increase capacity and energy, but its volume must be big.
Utilize similar battery structure, Ni (OH)2It is used as positive pole to mate cathode of lithium [non-patent literature 3].Li/Ni(OH)2Battery must be charged so that Ni (OH)2Following reaction can be passed through and be oxidized to NiOOH:
Ni(OH)2+OH-=NiOOH+H2O+e-
Meanwhile, there is following reaction:
Li++e-=Li
Wherein lithium ion derives from electrolyte.
Therefore, although Ni (OH)2Experimentally show the high power capacity of 260mAh/g, but battery capacity is limited by the Li ion concentration in electrolyte.The capacity advantage of Li/Ni is limited by the Li ion concentration in electrolyte.

Fig. 8 is the partial cross sectional schematic block diagram describing alkali metal/oxidant cell with different view.In one aspect, as it can be seen, NiOOH is used as the positive electrode 802 in lithium/nickel-based battery 800.Battery 800 comprises the lithium an-ode 804 and NiOOH positive pole 802 that are separated by Li ion-permeable barrier film 806, and described Li ion-permeable barrier film 806 transports Li ion 808 between negative pole 804 side and positive pole 802 side.Lithium/NiOOH battery 800 must discharge with following electrochemical reaction after initial assembling:
Negative side: Li=Li++e-
Side of the positive electrode: NiOOH+H2O+e-=Ni (OH)2+OH-
Overall reaction: Li+NiOOH+H2O=Ni (OH)2+LiOH。
Lithium/Ni (OH) that capacity that is that associate with non-patent literature 3 (H.Li etc.) and that describe in the background section above is limited by the Li ion concentration in electrolyte2Battery is different, and the capacity of the Li/NiOOH battery of Fig. 8 is only determined by the active material in electrode.Specifically, for non-patent literature 3, negative pole is Li, just extremely Ni (OH)2, and electrolyte has LiOH.The first reaction after battery assembling must be the process to battery charging.During charging process, LiOH in the electrolyte dissociates, Li+Moving to negative side and becoming is plated on lithium an-ode, OH-Ion and Ni (OH)2Reaction, generates NiOOH and H2O.The capacity of battery is determined by the amount of the LiOH being added into liquid electrolyte.
In battery 800, negative pole is Li metal and just extremely NiOOH.Different from above-mentioned prior art battery (non-patent literature 3), the first reaction after battery assembles is that battery 800 is discharged.Li+It is dissolved in negative electrode solution in negative side and moves to side of the positive electrode.Positive electrode NiOOH reacts and produces Ni (OH)2.Battery capacity is limited by the primary quantity of Li or NiOOH existed when battery manufactures.Because Li has very big the capacity (> 3000mAh/g more than LiOOH positive pole (261mAh/g)), so Li/NiOOH battery capacity is determined by the primary quantity of the NiOOH at positive pole.Therefore, the battery with NiOOH positive pole of initial charge has ratio and utilizes Ni (OH) in non-patent literature 32Electrode and LiOH liquid electrolyte carry out the capacity that the battery of initial discharge is much higher.
Fig. 9 is the partial cross sectional schematic block diagram describing to have the flow-thru cell of anode sizing agent.Once be attached on current collector at the NiOOH assembling battery 800, battery capacity is exactly fixing.In order to increase battery capacity further, the slurry positive pole liquid 902 that NiOOH is formed as being fed in cathode collector 904 by the flow-thru cell of Fig. 9 is to mate the high power capacity of cathode of lithium 804.Carter and Chiang (patent documentation 2, referring to background section) discloses and uses flowable slurry as electrode material in the battery.But, they have LiCoO2The battery of slurry positive pole liquid is shown, 0.36Li ion reversibly inserts LiCoO between 2V and 4.5V2In molecule/from LiCoO2Releasing in molecule, this is corresponding to the capacity of 99mAh/g, and the capacity than the 261mAh/g of NiOOH is much smaller.Circulation Li/NiOOH battery 900 is by cathode of lithium 804, and the positive compartment barrier film composition of Li ion-permeable film or Li ion conducting solid electrolyte 806.During discharging, NiOOH is reduced to Ni (OH)2.If being mechanically charged (utilize and recover anode sizing agent from the oxidation slurry in pond), battery 900 can be continuously generated electric power.Similarly, for the negative pole to replace, negative compartment can also be easily removable, thus realizing mechanical charge.In some respects, current collector 904 can additionally comprise the wall of the compartment containing slurry.
Figure 10 is the partial cross sectional schematic block diagram of several battery blocks being connected to slurry pool by pipeline.Each block 1002 comprises multiple flow-thru cells 900 of electrical connection in parallel.In order to obtain high voltage and high-energy, as shown, block 1002 can be electrically connected in series to form battery pile 1000.Several blocks 1002 can be connected in parallel (as shown in the figure) or be connected in series to circulate NiOOH slurry positive pole liquid by pipeline.The same with the circulation Li/NiOOH battery of Fig. 9, heap 1000 can also carry out mechanical charge when Li negative pole is replaced and supplements with NiOOH slurry positive pole liquid.

2. solid positive pole/solid, metal negative electrode;
3. slurry positive pole/be dissolved in the negative material in negative electrode solution;

There is the battery (3) of the negative material of Ni slurry positive pole/be dissolved in negative electrode solution.
As previously mentioned, dissolve when metal Li is reduced, i.e. Li+Aqueous electrolyte is solvable.Therefore, it can foundation and there is no solid negative pole, only there is the battery of the current collector of suitable material.Metal ion (oxidation) is dissolved in negative electrode solution solution.During charging, along with the oxidized slurry positive pole of negative pole enters reduction-state (Ni (OH)2).Slurry leaves with oxidation state (NiOOH).Subsequently, by the flowing of the slurry that reverses, i.e. NiOOH enters oxidation state and with reduction-state (Ni (OH)2) leave, can to battery discharge.When metal Li is reduced, it is plated on current collector.Battery capacity is determined by the concentration of metal ion in electrolyte.
