Description

海水電池Seawater battery

本發明為有關一種海水電池,尤指一種陽極包含奈米碳管材料的海水電池。

The invention relates to a seawater battery, in particular to a seawater battery comprising an anode carbon nanotube material.

電池的結構隨著時代的進步而不斷的推陳出新,例如常見的乾電池、蓄電池、水銀電池、空氣電池、鎳鎘電池、鎳氫電池、鋰離子電池、太陽能電池、燃料電池、海水電池等,其中海水電池由於使用時才需與海水進行接觸發電,於平常貯存時電極不接觸電解液(海水),不僅與一般電極需和電解質共同存放的蓄電池相比,其具有較佳的安全性,並且特別適合應用於與海洋相關又需要提供電力的產品。
於中國實用新型專利公告第CN2331087號中,即揭示一種海水電池,該海水電池主要由耐蝕的鋼陰極、海水電解液和多孔賤金屬陽極構成。其中,該多孔賤金屬陽極採用50至80微米的鋅-鋁合金粉和小於60微米的氧化鋁粉按3:1比例充分混合,由粉末冶金技術鑄造。製成的海水電池不但增加了陽極表面面積,而且保持了陽極活性物質參與化學反應的真實表面積。是一種能較穩定供應較大電流的海水電池。
然而,上述的多孔賤金屬陽極,在構成的該海水電池中產生約為400mA‧cm-2的電流密度,與該鋼陰極的有效電位差約為0.2V,而於電流密度方面偏小,故仍有改善的空間。

The structure of the battery has been continuously updated with the advancement of the times, such as common dry batteries, batteries, mercury batteries, air batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, seawater batteries, etc. The battery needs to be in contact with seawater to generate electricity when it is used. The electrode does not contact the electrolyte (seawater) during normal storage, and it has better safety and is particularly suitable than the battery in which the general electrode needs to be stored together with the electrolyte. Used in products that are related to the ocean and need to provide electricity.
In Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN2331087, a seawater battery is disclosed, which is mainly composed of a corrosion resistant steel cathode, a seawater electrolyte and a porous tantalum metal anode. Wherein, the porous base metal anode is sufficiently mixed in a ratio of 3:1 with a zinc-aluminum alloy powder of 50 to 80 micrometers and an alumina powder of less than 60 micrometers, and is cast by powder metallurgy technology. The prepared seawater battery not only increases the anode surface area, but also maintains the true surface area of the anode active material involved in the chemical reaction. It is a seawater battery that can supply a relatively large current more stably.
However, the porous tantalum metal anode described above generates a current density of about 400 mA ‧ cm -2 in the seawater battery, and the effective potential difference from the steel cathode is about 0.2 V, and is small in terms of current density. There is room for improvement.
