Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of zinc ion batteries, relates to a preparation method of a negative electrode modifier, and particularly relates to a negative electrode modifier and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid increase of energy demand, many countries and regions have increased the investment in renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower to cope with the global challenge of the increasing exhaustion of traditional fossil energy and the related environmental problems. Although low-carbon or non-carbon clean energy exists, the generation and conversion of a renewable energy power supply system have the characteristics of intermittence, instability, uncontrollable and the like. Non-aqueous lithium ion batteries are currently the most widely used rechargeable electrochemical devices. However, due to increasing concerns about their potential safety issues, large-scale application of lithium ion batteries is hampered. In addition, the high cost and low abundance of lithium resources on earth have also limited the long-term development of lithium ores. Compared with the traditional lithium battery based on organic electrolyte, the water system zinc ion battery has the characteristics of higher safety, lower cost, easier processing and higher ionic conductivity, and has the prospect of large-scale energy storage.
Zinc is naturally abundant, about 300 times as abundant as lithium, and has good resistance to the environment, so that it is low in purchase and processing costs. Very importantly, zn anodes also have the inherent advantage of high theoretical capacity. Therefore, water-based zinc ion batteries have attracted sufficient attention. It is known that the negative electrode is an important component of an aqueous zinc ion battery, and is particularly important for the performance and life of the battery. However, despite the inherent advantages of zinc cathodes, zn dendrite growth therein remains a challenge, a problem that can be devastating to aqueous zinc ion batteries. According to previous reports, dendrite growth significantly reduces the capacity and coulombic efficiency of zinc anodes. Moreover, the zinc dendrites can pierce through the membrane during the circulation process to cause short circuit in the battery, even cause safety problems, and greatly limit the further development and application of the zinc ion battery. According to the mechanism of inhibiting the growth of zinc dendrite in the prior art, an artificial interface layer is constructed on the surface of metal zinc to obtain a stable zinc metal surface with a protective film, so that the growth of the zinc dendrite is inhibited, the long circulation stability of a zinc ion battery can be improved, but most of the existing artificial interface layers are organic additives, and the problems of complex manufacturing process, organic toxicity and low stability exist.
CN 114835161A discloses a zinc ion battery cathode, a preparation method of an active material of the zinc ion battery cathode, and a zinc ion battery. The preparation method of the zinc ion battery cathode active material comprises the step of preparing a vanadium tetrasulfide cathode active material, and providing a large number of active sites for embedding and removing zinc ions. Thereby improving the migration kinetics of zinc ions, reducing the growth of zinc dendrites and further improving the sequential stability of the cathode material. However, the preparation method of vanadium tetrasulfide needs hydrothermal reaction of a vanadium source and a sulfur source, the consumption of the preparation process is large, and the application of the hydrothermal reaction in industry is difficult to realize large-scale production.
CN 114899349A discloses a method for inhibiting growth of zinc dendrite by zinc modification of a zinc ion battery negative electrode. PVB, absolute ethyl alcohol and Nafion solution are prepared according to a certain proportion, and an artificial interface layer is constructed on the zinc electrode sheet by a spin coating method. However, the preparation method is complex and is not suitable for large-scale production.
Therefore, the development of a simple, convenient and environmentally friendly feasible solution capable of inhibiting the growth of zinc dendrites is the key to the practical application of zinc ion batteries.

Compared with common drying, the freeze-drying is carried out under the conditions of low temperature and low pressure, the water is not directly sublimated through liquid state, the composition of each component in the cactus sample can be maintained, and particularly, the volatile heat-sensitive components in the cactus sample are ensured not to be lost, so that the oxidation, the conversion of nutrient components and the change of state in the drying process are effectively prevented.

TABLE 1
As can be seen from the above table, by comparing the example 1 with the example 4, in the same effective time, the insufficient freezing temperature easily causes the water in the sample not to be completely solidified in the effective time, which affects the next freeze-drying operation, and causes the loss of components or the structural collapse of the sample, thereby affecting the performance of the final material;
comparing example 1 with example 5, it can be seen that when the freeze-drying time is too short to allow the crystal water in the material to be completely sublimated, the final performance of the product is affected;
comparing example 1 and example 6, it is known that when the total amount of the negative electrode modifier of the aqueous zinc ion battery is adjusted, the rate performance of the battery is obviously changed, wherein the mass ratio of the negative electrode modifier, the acetylene black conductive agent and the PVDF is 7:2:1 is a preferred ratio;
it can be seen from the comparison between examples 1 and 7 that the battery has more excellent rate capability when the modified negative electrode is used, and when the positive electrode is made of alpha-manganese dioxide than when the positive electrode is made of delta-manganese dioxide;
comparing example 1 with example 8, it is seen that when the aqueous zinc ion battery negative electrode modifier is acetylene black or ketjen black as a conductive agent, the battery has similar high rate performance. When the conductive agent is acetylene black, the small rate performance of the battery is more excellent;
by comparing example 1 with example 9, znSO was used 4 (2 mol/L)/MnSO 4 (0.2 mol/L) electrolyte ratio 2 mol/L Zn (CF) was used 3 SO 3 ) 2 The electrolyte has better rate performance;
comparing example 1 with comparative example 1, it is clear that the battery of the aqueous zinc ion battery negative electrode modifier of the invention has more excellent rate and cycle performance. In addition, after the battery using the negative electrode modifier is subjected to long circulation with high current density, the new redeposition process of the negative electrode is more uniform, and a large amount of zinc dendrites capable of penetrating through the diaphragm are generated on the surface of the original zinc negative electrode without modification;
as can be seen by comparing the example 1 with the comparative example 2, the original components can be maintained to the maximum extent by the freeze-drying treatment, and the oxidation, the conversion of the nutritional components and the state change in the drying process can be effectively prevented, so that the required target product can be obtained, and the required modification effect can be finally achieved;
as is clear from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 3, the active ingredient is likely to be lost during the cycle when the moisture in the material is not treated, and the final effect of protecting the negative electrode is not obtained.
