Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the dendrite deposition of zinc from occurring in a zinc- halogen cell by adding elements of the 4th-6th period of the III group or their compounds to an aqueous solution containing zinc halogenide as its principal component to make up an electrolyte. CONSTITUTION:In a zinc-halogen cell, elements of the 4th-6th period of the III group in the periodic table or their compounds are added by about 10<-6>- 10<-1>mol/l respectively to an aqueous solution containing zinc halogenide as its principal component. Thereby, dendrite deposition can be prevented in spite of the fact that zinc tends to be deposited on a negative electrode during charging. Accordingly, short-circuits with a halogen positive electrode due to dendrite deposition or the falling off of depositions can be avoided. Ga, In, Tl, for instance, can be referred as elements of the 4th-6th period of the III group.

-However, zinc does not deposit smoothly during charging, -17
This may result in so-called dendrite precipitation, resulting in a positive short circuit, or
There is one drawback, such as the precipitated material falling off. Many studies have already been conducted to prevent the precipitation of zinc dendrites in alkaline batteries, such as nickel η-zinc batteries, and effective additives have been found. However, a zinc-halogen battery uses an acidic electrolyte, and the behavior of additives and agents in an acidic system is completely different from that in an alkaline system. For example, if lead, which is reported to be effective in preventing dendrite precipitation in alkaline batteries, is added to acidic batteries, dendrite precipitation will be accelerated. Therefore, it is necessary to find effective additives for acid-based batteries that are completely different from those for alkaline-based batteries.As additives for zinc-halogen batteries, recently organic compounds such as soluble polyether compounds, amines, and shrimp have been used as additives for zinc-halogen batteries. A method has been proposed in which a reaction product with chlorohydrin is added to the electrolyte, and in fact it has achieved a comparable effect. Since the former self-containing compound dissolves at a high concentration, it reacts or decomposes with chlorine during use, and the effect of preventing zinc dendrite precipitation is lost, making it impossible to maintain the initial effect for a long period of time.
