Problems solved by technology

[0004] The zinc paste currently used has poor stability in high-concentration strong alkali solution, especially when the battery is stored at a higher temperature, it is easier to dehydrate and hydrolyze, and the separated electrolyte migrates to the battery seal and the positive electrode, making the positive electrode change. Reduced performance, increased internal res...

[0021] The preparation method of above-mentioned alkaline battery gel-like zinc paste of the present invention, its preferred embodiment comprises the following steps;

[0022] Mix mercury-free zinc powder with gelling agent, indium hydroxide or indium oxide, and zinc ...

specific Embodiment 1

[0035] (1) Take 40g of potassium hydroxide, 6g of zinc oxide, 0.5g of calcium oxide, 0.08g of sodium stannate, and 53.42g of water. First add water into the electrolyte preparation tank, add potassium hydroxide under stirring, let it dissolve, then add zinc oxide, calcium oxide and sodium stannate in turn to dissolve them all, and after cooling, you can get alkaline electrolytic solution liquid.

[0036] (2) Mix 100g of zinc powder, 0.05g of indium oxide, 1g of zinc oxide, 2g of sodium polyacrylate and 0.5g of carboxymethyl cellulose, and stir for 10 minutes to make them evenly mixed. Take 36g of the above electrolytic solution and mix it with the zinc powder mixture, and process it with a vacuum mixer for 8 minutes to obtain a gel-like zinc paste.

[0037] The zinc paste is used as the negative electrode to assemble the zinc-air battery, which can be stored at room temperature for more than 2 years, and the battery has no swelling and leakage.

specific Embodiment 2

[0038] (1) Take 40g of potassium hydroxide, 7g of zinc oxide, 0.2g of calcium oxide, 0.05g of sodium stannate, and 52.75g of water. First add water into the electrolyte preparation tank, add potassium hydroxide under stirring, let it dissolve, then add zinc oxide, calcium oxide and sodium stannate in turn to dissolve them all, and after cooling, you can get alkaline electrolysis liquid.

[0039] (2) Mix 100g of zinc powder, 0.08g of indium hydroxide, 1g of zinc oxide, 0.8g of polyacrylic acid and 1.2g of sodium polyacrylate, and stir for 10 minutes to make them evenly mixed. Take 40 g of the above electrolytic solution and mix it with the zinc powder mixture, and process it with a vacuum mixer for 10 minutes to obtain a gel-like zinc paste.

[0040] The zinc paste is used as the negative electrode to assemble the zinc-air battery, which can be stored at a high temperature of 50°C for more than 2 months, and the battery has no swelling and leakage.
