Problems solved by technology

However, due to the self-passivation characteristics of aluminum, it is easy to form a dense surface passivation film in a neutral medium, resulting in a greatly reduced activity. Therefore, the electrolytes of common aluminum-air batteries or aluminum seawater batteries mostly use strong alkaline solutions. , the purpose is to suppress the passivation of aluminum, such as Chinese invention patents CN 105140596B and CN1066763343B, etc. invented aluminum alloy anode materials with good performance in alkaline medium

Abstract

The invention provides an aluminum alloy anode material for a seawater battery and a preparation method. The electrochemical performance of an aluminum alloy in a seawater medium is improved through amicroalloying method. According to the preparation method, firstly, activating elements Ga, Bi, Cd and Pb are added to promote an oxidation film layer on the surface of the aluminum alloy to be dissolved and strip off, the potential of an anode is remarkably and negatively moved, and the activation performance of the anode is improved; secondly, elements Sn, Zn and Mn with the high hydrogen evolution potential are added, the hydrogen evolution overpotential of the aluminum alloy is increased to some extent, the probability of hydrogen evolution corrosion of the anode is reduced, and accordingly, the current efficiency of the anode is improved; and finally, by controlling the contents of impurity elements Fe and Cu in an aluminum ingot, self-corrosion of the aluminum alloy anode is reduced, and the dissolution morphology of the aluminum alloy anode is improved. In the preparation process of the anode, by controlling the feeding sequence and technological parameters of all the components, the anode material has the negative working potential, high activity and low self-corrosion rate in the seawater medium, and the driving potential and current efficiency of the aluminum-seawater battery can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an anode material for an aluminum-seawater battery, more specifically a high-activity aluminum alloy anode material and a preparation method, belonging to the field of alloy materials. The material has relatively negative working potential, high activity and low self-corrosion rate in seawater medium, and can effectively improve the driving potential and current efficiency of the aluminum-seawater battery. Background technique [0002] A seawater battery consists of an anode (positive electrode), a cathode (negative electrode) and an electrolyte (seawater). When the battery is working, the negative electrode current is generated by the anode metal losing electrons in the seawater electrolyte to become metal ions, and the dissolved oxygen in the seawater electrolyte obtains electrons on the inert electrode to undergo a reduction reaction to generate a positive electrode current. The electrolyte used in seawater batteries is nat...
