Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the past few decades, researchers have been working on the commercialization of rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries, but the reason is that the positive electrode is the key to the problem: due to the high charge density, aluminum ions (Al 3+ ) It is difficult to reversibly intercalate / extract inside the electrode material, resulting in the lack of positive electrode materials with high specific energy and long cycle life for aluminum-ion batteries; currently, Al 3+ Only in aluminum trichloride (AlCl 3 ) and organic chlorides (such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [EMIm]Cl) reversibly deposited / dissolved in ionic liquids, and such ionic liquids have negative effects on electrode materials, current collectors and packaging shells, etc. are highly corrosive
The above unfavorable factors have hindered the popularization and application of aluminum ion batteries

Abstract

The invention provides an aluminum-chloride mixed ion battery, comprising: a positive pole, a negative pole, an electrolyte and a diaphragm between the positive and negative poles, the material of the positive pole is a chloride-graphite intercalation compound MCl X ‑GIC, the electrolyte is an ionic liquid composed of metal chlorides and organic chlorides. The innovation lies in the successful application of graphite interlayer compounds in ion batteries, using the theory of hybrid chemistry to integrate aluminum-ion batteries and chloride-ion battery systems to form aluminum-chloride mixed-ion batteries, and the aluminum-chloride mixed-ion batteries formed The charge carrier of the system is not single, and what is actually embedded in the positive electrode of the hybrid battery is Cl ‑ (and possibly AlCl 4 ‑ ), but it is Al 2 Cl 7 ‑ . During the charging and discharging process, only the intercalation and extraction of ions occurs, no other chemical reactions occur, and the electrode structure does not change, so it has good electrochemical stability.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrochemical energy storage, and mainly relates to an aluminum-chloride mixed ion battery. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-ion battery is a potential new generation energy storage system with many outstanding advantages. First of all, aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust, second only to oxygen and silicon, accounting for 8.23% of the total mass of the earth's crust. It has a wide range of sources and is cheap and easy to get. Secondly, metal aluminum has a very strong charge storage capacity, and its volume specific capacity can reach 8.04 Ah / cm 3 , is the volume specific capacity of lithium metal (2.06 Ah / cm 3 ) four times. In addition, aluminum metal also has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and ductility.
