[0048] The conductivity of the electrolyte prepared in this example was tested by the AC impedance method, and the experimental data were recorded on a CHI660E electrochemical workstation. The results show that the conductivity of the e...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Mix 0.7 mL deionized water and 0.3 mL DEC solvent, add 0.73 g Zn(OTf) to the mixed solution 2 Zinc salt, fully oscillate, ultrasonic for 2 minutes at room temperature to completely dissolve the zinc salt, and mix the two solvents completely to obtain 2 mol / kg Zn(OTf) 2 -H 2 O / DEC (7:3) electrolyte.

[0065] The obtained electrolyte was tested for flame retardancy, thermal stability, electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance. The test results show that the electrolyte is non-combustible, the conductivity is as high as 40 mS / cm, and the voltage window is stable from -0.3 V to 2.2 V. The initial coulombic efficiency of the deposition / precipitation of zinc ions in the electrolyte on the zinc anode was 87%, and then stabilized to about 96%, which can be achieved at 1 mA / cm 2 Stable cycle for more than 30 cycles under the current density.

Embodiment 3

[0067] Mix 0.5 mL deionized water and 1 mL DEC solvent, add 1.1 g Zn(OTf) to the mixed solution 2 Zinc salt, fully oscillated, ultrasonic at room temperature for 10 minutes to completely dissolve the zinc salt, and mix the two solvents completely to obtain 2 mol / kg Zn(OTf) 2 -H 2 O / DEC (1:2) electrolyte.

[0068] The obtained electrolyte was tested for flame retardancy, thermal stability, electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance. The test results show that the electrolyte is nonflammable, and the increase in the content of carbonate solvent reduces the conductivity of the electrolyte to 14 mS / cm, and the voltage window is stable from -0.3 V to 2.6 V. The initial coulombic efficiency of the deposition / precipitation of zinc ions in the electrolyte on the zinc anode is 75%, the coulombic efficiency of the first 30 cycles is low between 85 and 90%, and then stabilizes to about 98%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a battery electrolyte, in particular to an electrolyte for a rechargeable zinc ion battery, a preparation method thereof and a rechargeable zinc ion battery. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have achieved great success in portable electronic devices, and are gradually developing rapidly in new energy vehicles, renewable resource storage and other fields. However, lithium resources are scarce, unevenly distributed and expensive, and the use of flammable organic electrolytes is likely to cause serious safety issues, which to some extent limits its application in large-scale energy storage systems. Therefore, it is imperative to develop alternative electrochemical energy storage technologies. [0003] Rechargeable water-based zinc-ion batteries are considered to be one of the ideal options for large-scale energy storage due to their high safety and low cost, and have attracted extensive attention from researche...
