Description

Lamellar nanoporous Zn/Cu/Al 2 Cu alloy electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of aqueous zinc ion battery electrode materials, and in particular to a nanoporous Zn/Cu/Al electrode material with lamellar structure 2 The technical field of Cu alloy electrodes.
Background
With the continuous adjustment of energy systems, the storage and conversion of renewable energy sources is attracting attention, and the development of convenient, controllable and sustainable energy storage technologies to compensate for the intermittent and uncontrollable nature of renewable energy sources is urgent. Lithium ion batteries dominate large-scale electrical energy storage systems due to their longer cycle life and higher energy density compared to other energy storage technologies. However, the ever-increasing raw material prices, limited lithium resource reserves, and safety issues caused by organic electrolytes of lithium ion battery assemblies severely limit their further development, forcing the development of new generation energy storage systems with greater potential. Aqueous multivalent metal ion batteries are of great interest because of their inherent high safety, excellent ionic conductivity, good thermal stability, and higher cycling performance. Aqueous zinc ion batteries with moderate redox potential (-0.76V vs SHE), high elemental abundance and excellent theoretical capacity are of great interest compared to other aqueous systems.
The zinc ion battery insensitive to oxygen and moisture can be directly assembled in the air due to the high safety brought by the water-based electrolyte, so that the assembling process of the battery is greatly simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the battery is effectively reduced. In addition, the direct application of metallic zinc in the aqueous electrolyte can not only utilize the high theoretical mass capacity (720 mAh g -1 ) And volumetric capacity (5855 mAh cm) -3 ) And its intrinsic stability in aqueous solutions gives the possibility of long-term stable cycling of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The working principle of the zinc ion battery is similar to that of a lithium ion battery, and a series of feasible water-based zinc ion battery anode materials including manganese-based oxides, vanadium-based oxides, prussian blue analogues, cobalt-based phosphates, polyanion compounds and organic compounds, which show excellent stability in a water-based electrolyte, are researched by the inspired of a lithium ion battery system. However, the zinc foil is commonly used as a negative electrode of the aqueous zinc ion battery, and adverse side reactions generated in the repeated stripping/electroplating process inevitably lead to the degradation of the battery performance, so that the battery cannot meet the requirements of practical application. Dendrite growth, surface corrosion, passivation and hydrogen evolution problems caused by the high reactivity of zinc with aqueous solutions during cycling are major causes of instability of zinc cathodes and battery failure, so establishing an efficient and stable zinc stripping/electroplating process is critical to improving its performance.
The eutectic alloy of aluminum and copper is chemically dealloyed for a controlled time to obtain an alloy electrode with a layered large-channel porous structure, and the structure can keep good machining performance. The formed three-dimensional porous structure not only can obviously increase the specific surface of the electrodeThereby reducing the local current density of the electrode and nucleation overpotential of ion deposition, and not corroding the complete Al 2 The different electrode potentials between the Cu intermetallic compound phase and the metal Cu phase obtained in the dealloying process form rich local couples in the alloy, and the reversible dendrite-free zinc stripping/electroplating behavior is effectively guided. The synergistic effect of different potential phases and a porous structure provides possibility for batch preparation of zinc ion battery cathodes which can be stably circulated for a long time.

In the time-voltage curve of FIG. 5, nanoporous Zn with lamellar structure/Cu//Al 2 The Cu alloy electrode only has a nucleation overpotential of-2.2 mV, and the excellent zinc-philicity of the alloy electrode in the disclosure is proved to effectively reduce the energy barrier in the electrochemical plating process, thereby effectively improving the electrochemical performance of the alloy electrode. As can be seen from the results of the symmetrical cell test in FIG. 6, nanoporous Zn/Cu// Al having lamellar structure 2 Cu alloy electrode symmetrical battery with 0.5mA cm -2 Can be tested for a current density of over 4000 hours without significant voltage hysteresis. In contrast, pure zinc symmetrical cells exhibit significant voltage hysteresis over a test time of 200 hours. FIG. 7 is a pure zinc symmetric cell and nanoporous Zn/Cu// Al with lamellar structure 2 Impedance contrast of Cu alloy electrode symmetric cell, nanoporous Zn/Cu// Al with lamellar structure 2 The charge transfer resistance of the Cu alloy electrode symmetric cell was about 5 Ω, in contrast to about 635 Ω for the pure zinc symmetric cell, demonstrating nanoporous Zn/Cu// Al with lamellar structure 2 The Cu alloy electrode has a stronger electrochemical activity than pure zinc foil.

As shown in FIG. 11, the alloy electrode exhibits great advantage in terms of high current density, which is 10Ag, thanks to the effect of the porous structure greatly reducing the local current density and regulating the ion flux -1 Has a mAh g of more than 235mAh g after 5000 circles of stable circulation under high current density -1 The specific capacity of (c) demonstrates its excellent rate capability. FIG. 12 is a nanoporous Zn/Cu// Al with lamellar structure 2 Cu alloy electrode and carbon cloth loaded Zn 0.12 V 2 O 5 The electrode composition standard aqueous zinc ion full cell is 0.2-10Ag -1 Is used for testing the multiplying power performance under the current density. At a charge/discharge current density of from 0.2Ag -1 Up to 10A g -1 When the battery was able to retain more than 50% of its capacity, its excellent rate performance was demonstrated. The above performance tests all show that compared with pure zinc metal anode, nano-porous Zn/Cu// Al with lamellar porous structure is used 2 The symmetric battery prepared by the Cu alloy electrode and the water-based zinc ion full battery have higher electrochemical activity and structural stability, and have good application prospects in the field of water-based batteries, and the method can be further expanded to other energy storage battery systems, so that a new method and thinking are provided for improving the electrochemical activity and structural stability of the metal electrode.
