Abstract

An air cathode for a zinc air cell comprises a first electrode and a second electrode which are sequentially superposed in a layered manner; the first electrode comprises a hydrophobic breathable layer, a first current collector and a first catalytic layer; and the second electrode comprises a second current collector and a second catalytic layer. Compared with cathodes in the prior art, the air cathode for the zinc air cell, adopting the double current collector layer structure has the advantages of substantial improvement of the current collection effect, facilitation of formation of a certain aperture structure, increase of the area of a three-phase interface, convenient oxygen diffusion, and improvement of the discharge performance of the air electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of zinc-air batteries, in particular to an air cathode for zinc-air batteries. Background technique [0002] A zinc-air battery is an electrochemical reaction device that uses zinc as the anode, an air electrode as the cathode, and an alkaline KOH solution as the electrolyte solution. Zinc-air batteries are low-cost raw materials, green and environmentally friendly, and have low production costs. They are used in electric vehicles, emergency power supplies and other fields. They are one of the most promising green and clean energy sources. [0003] In the actual use of zinc-air batteries, their application range is limited due to their low discharge performance. The three-phase interface area has a great influence on the discharge performance of the air electrode. In order to improve the high current density discharge capacity of zinc-air batteries, it is of great significance to increase the three-phase interface ar...
