Technical Field
The invention relates to an acid-base mixed high-voltage aqueous zinc battery and a zinc flow battery with double dissolution deposition reactions, belonging to the technical field of secondary batteries.
Background
At present, due to environmental pollution and exhaustion of fossil fuels, people begin to utilize new energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy, but most of the new energy sources are intermittent, so that the new energy sources can be more effectively utilized by developing an energy storage technology, and an electrochemical energy storage technology represented by a lithium ion battery has the characteristics of high energy density, mature technology, green environmental protection and the like and is widely concerned by people. However, the lithium ion battery adopts organic electrolyte, is easy to ignite, has certain potential safety hazard, and is not suitable for being applied to a large-scale power energy storage system.
The aqueous battery adopts aqueous solution as battery electrolyte, has high safety, greatly reduces the cost compared with organic electrolyte, and has wide application prospect in the fields of civil and industrial energy storage. The rechargeable water system zinc battery adopts metal zinc and a compound with high specific energy as a negative electrode, has higher specific capacity, is widely concerned by people in recent years due to the characteristics of environmental protection, safety, low cost and the like, but the working voltage window of the water system zinc ion battery is severely limited because the electrochemical stability window of water is only 1.23V, so that the battery has lower specific energy.
In order to increase the voltage of an aqueous battery, wang (Suo, L.; borodin, O.; gao, T.; olguin, M.; ho, J.; fan, X.; luo, C.; wang, C.; xu, K.; water-in-salt "electrochemical activities high-voltage aqueous alkali-chemistry. Science 2015,350 (6263), 938-43.) groups designed a high concentration salt electrolyte that significantly reduced the electrochemical activity of Water molecules as described in the above non-patent documents, thereby successfully broadening the electrochemical window of Water to 3V, but this approach greatly increased the cost of the battery due to the use of expensive high concentration salts, and in addition, only a small portion of the salts may have such a high solubility in Water (21 mol L.) -1 ) This greatly limits the options available for battery systems. The patent (Chinese publication No. CN 105140575A) proposes an aqueous battery of acid-base double electrolyte, but the positive electrode of the battery lacks manganese salt as a positive electrode reactant during charging, so that the coulomb efficiency of the battery is lower; in addition, hydrogen ions and hydroxyl can permeate each other in the circulation process, and the pH difference of the electrolyte on the two sides cannot be maintained; in addition, the metal negative electrode is easy to generate dendrite when being circulated in alkali, which severely limits the cycle stability. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an acid-base mixed high-voltage aqueous zinc battery having a double dissolution deposition reaction.

the diaphragm is a bipolar membrane compounded by a layer of cation exchange membrane and a layer of anion exchange membrane or a solid electrolyte diaphragm conducting specific ions.
The invention provides a method for improving the working voltage of a battery by using acid-base mixed electrolyte, which is different from the de-intercalation reaction of a conventional zinc battery, and the positive/negative electrodes are both dissolution-deposition reaction, so that the specific capacity of the battery is greatly improved, and the aim of improving the energy density of the battery is fulfilled.

It should be noted that "left" and "right" in the present invention are only descriptions applied to the positions of the respective components in fig. 1, and there is no specific directional characterization in the actual manufacturing process. Preferably, an inlet (or an outlet) for pouring in (or pouring out) the respective electrolytes is further provided on the positive electrode reaction chamber and the negative electrode reaction chamber.
In an alternative embodiment, the present invention mainly uses a gasket to ensure the sealing performance of the reaction chamber, and further uses a packaging method such as a bolt tightening method to ensure the sealing performance of the whole battery.
There are two problems with static high voltage aqueous zinc cells: zinc is easy to form dendrite after being circulated in alkalinity; although the bipolar membrane can theoretically block hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions from passing through, the inevitable existence of a small amount of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions can pass through the membrane under the action of concentration difference and electric field, so that the pH difference on two sides cannot be maintained stably. In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a flow battery to alleviate the dendrite problem and the slow change of the pH of the electrolyte. On the basis of the above-described high-voltage aqueous zinc battery structure, peristaltic pumps (a first peristaltic pump 12 and a second peristaltic pump 14) for driving the flow of the electrolyte, a negative reservoir tank 11 for storing the negative electrolyte, and a positive reservoir tank 13 for storing the positive electrolyte are added, as shown in b in fig. 1. And the anode liquid storage tank is used for storing the anode electrolyte and is circularly communicated with the anode reaction chamber through a pipeline. And the negative electrode liquid storage tank is used for storing the negative electrode electrolyte and is circularly communicated with the negative electrode reaction chamber through a pipeline. And the first peristaltic pump is used for driving the cathode electrolyte to circularly flow between the cathode liquid storage tank and the cathode reaction chamber. And the second peristaltic pump is used for driving the anode electrolyte to circularly flow between the anode liquid storage tank and the anode reaction chamber. It should be noted that "left" and "right" in the present invention are only descriptions applied to the positions of the respective components in fig. 1, and there is no specific directional characterization in the actual manufacturing process.
The present invention will be described in detail by way of examples. It is also to be understood that the following examples are illustrative of the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, and that insubstantial modifications and adaptations of the invention by those skilled in the art based on the foregoing description are intended to be included within the scope of the invention. The specific process parameters and the like of the following examples are also merely one example of suitable ranges, i.e., those skilled in the art can select the appropriate ranges through the description herein, and are not limited to the specific values exemplified below.
Example 1
Preparing 100mL of positive electrolyte containing 1mol/L manganese sulfate and 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid;
100mL of negative electrode electrolyte containing 2.4mol/L potassium hydroxide and 0.1mol/L zinc acetate was prepared.
The metal zinc is used as a negative electrode, the carbon cloth is used as a positive electrode, and the bipolar membrane is used as a battery diaphragm (Fumasep FBM). A flow battery (see b in fig. 1) and a non-flow battery (see a in fig. 1) are assembled according to the battery structure shown in fig. 1, wherein the bipolar membrane is an ion selective permeable membrane which is composed of a cation exchange membrane (anode side) and an anion exchange membrane (cathode side), when the battery is assembled, the anode side faces the cathode, and the cathode side faces the anode, so that the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions of the electrolytes on both sides can be ensured not to permeate each other.
Electrochemical testing of the assembled cell was carried out by constant voltage charging (2.65V) and constant current discharging (2 mA cm) -2 ). Fig. 2 is a charging and discharging curve of the high-voltage aqueous zinc flow battery with acid-base isolation electrode reaction obtained in example 1, and it can be found that the discharging voltage plateau of the battery is 2.44V, which is much higher than the voltage of the existing aqueous zinc ion battery.
The cycle performance of the high-voltage aqueous zinc battery with acid-base isolation electrode reaction is shown in fig. 3 (b). The cycle performance of the high-voltage aqueous zinc flow battery is shown in fig. 3 (a). The flow battery has excellent cycle performance, and after 6000 cycles, the discharge capacity of the battery can still be maintained at 99.5%, which is obviously better than that of a non-flow battery (1500 cycles, the discharge capacity retention rate is 94%).
From fig. 4, it can be found that the electrochemical stability window of the high-voltage aqueous zinc ion flow battery with acid-base isolation electrode reaction obtained in this example 1 is greatly widened (3V), which is much higher than that of the electrolyte of the conventional aqueous battery (1.23V).
From fig. 5, it can be seen that a layer of charged product was deposited on the carbon fiber in the SEM picture after charging, and the product was manganese dioxide by XRD analysis, indicating that deposition of manganese dioxide occurred in the positive electrode during charging, and that the layer of manganese dioxide disappeared after discharging, and both SEM and XRD pictures are consistent with those before charging, indicating that the battery has good reversibility.
Fig. 6 shows that after 300 cycles, the zinc cathode surface of the flow battery has no obvious dendrite generation, and is smoother and smoother than the zinc cathode of the non-flow high-voltage water-based zinc battery.
Example 2
Preparing a positive electrolyte containing 1mol/L sulfuric acid, 0.1mol/L potassium permanganate and 0.5mol/L sodium sulfate;
preparing a negative electrode electrolyte containing 2.4mol/L of potassium hydroxide and 0.1mol/L of zinc acetate.
A performance test of the non-liquid flow high-voltage aqueous zinc battery assembled according to a in figure 1 shows that the battery has extremely low efficiency (< 25%) in a subsequent charging process because the battery has low efficiency and poor cycle performance due to oxygen evolution reaction of electrolyte caused by overhigh voltage in the charging process because the battery is assembled according to a figure 7.
Example 3
Preparing a positive electrolyte containing 1mol/L sulfuric acid and 0.5mol/L sodium sulfate;
preparing a negative electrode electrolyte containing 2.4mol/L of potassium hydroxide and 0.1mol/L of zinc acetate.
The method is characterized in that metal zinc is used as a negative electrode, a positive electrode is carbon paper coated with manganese dioxide (manganese dioxide: acetylene black: PVDF =7: 1), a bipolar membrane is used as a battery diaphragm, and a non-flow battery is assembled according to a mode in a in figure 1, a performance test of the battery is shown in figure 8, the efficiency of the battery in a subsequent charging process is low (< 50%), because bivalent manganese ions are lacked in electrolyte, although the manganese ions are generated in a discharging process, manganese loaded on an electrode is less, and the manganese ions are greatly diluted in the solution, so that the manganese ion concentration is extremely low, manganese dioxide cannot be formed in the charging process, the coulombic efficiency of the battery is low, and the good cycle performance of the battery can be ensured only by adding the manganese ions into the electrolyte of the positive electrode.
Example 4
Preparing 100mL of positive electrolyte containing 1mol/L manganese sulfate and 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid;
100mL of negative electrode electrolyte containing 2.4mol/L sodium hydroxide and 0.1mol/L zinc acetate was prepared.
The battery was assembled in accordance with the battery structure shown in fig. 1, with zinc metal as the negative electrode, carbon felt as the positive electrode, and NASICON-type solid electrolyte as the battery separator.
