Problems solved by technology

Zhai et al reported a CaCl at 750 °C 2 -NaCl mixed salt, add B 2 o 3 Mixed sintered powder with CaO, graphite rods are used for cathode and anode, and calcium hexaboride crystals are produced by constant cell piezoelectric electrolysis, but the CaB produced by this method 6 The yield of the product is only 25%, and the particles of the product are mainly micron-sized
[0004] At present, calcium hexaboride is mainly used as a metal deoxidizer and as a raw material for preparing transition metal borides, and there is no report on calcium boride as a battery negative electrode.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method and application of superfine calcium hexaboride to a battery. The preparation method comprises the steps of: carrying out electrolysis in a fused-salt electrolytic cell at a temperature of 500-750 DEG C through taking a composition of porous calcium borate and a metal current collector as the cathode and taking an insoluble conductor material as the anode, wherein fused-salt electrolyte contains a haloid corresponding to a metal capable of chemically reducing the calcium borate, and the voltage applied through the electrolysis is enough to reduce the calcium borate but not enough to resolve the fused-salt electrolyte; and taking out a reduction product on the cathode from the electrolytic cell, washing by using water and acid removing impurities, drying and then obtaining CaB6 powder. The obtained superfine calcium hexaboride can be used for a cathode material of a high-specific energy alkaline cell. By means of the method, the defects of high synthesis temperature, low yield and more expensive raw material of conventional boride are overcome and continuous production can be carried out.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method and application of ultrafine calcium hexaboride, belonging to the field of electrochemistry. Background technique [0002] Currently, CaB 6 The preparation of the powder is mainly synthesized by high temperature reaction, the boron source is mainly boron carbide, diboron trioxide and elemental boron, and the calcium source is mainly metallic calcium, calcium oxide and calcium carbonate. Traditional CaB 6 The synthesis methods are as follows: elemental boron and calcium are reacted in a closed tantalum crucible at 1000°C; calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) and boron carbide (B 4 C) At 1400°C, 10 -2 Carbothermal reduction under the condition of Pa; calcium oxide (CaO) and boron (B) are synthesized in vacuum at 1200-1800°C; sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) and calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) were synthesized under high pressure, etc. In these preparation methods, there are problems such as relatively expensive raw mate...
