Problems solved by technology

However, these PBA-type cathodes, such as cyanoferric hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF), suffer from short lifetime, low rate capability, and low operating voltage.
Significant specific capacity decay within short lifetime ≤ 1000 cycles prevents practical application of PBA-cathode
In addition, compared with the initial current density, at a current density of about 1A g -1 When the rate capability (rate capability) even experienced a severe capacity reduction of up to 50%
The insufficient lifetime and lower rate performance are attributed to the limited utilization of redox-active sites (Fe(III / II)), which is caused by the close-fitting effect exerted by six cyano groups per unit

Abstract

The invention provides a method for activating ferricyanide and a zinc ion battery prepared thereby. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out high-voltage scanning to the Zn-FeHCF battery; after the high-voltage scanning, carrying out program static to the Zn-FeHCF battery; after the program static, carrying out program discharge to the Zn-FeHCF battery; After discharging, a high-voltage scanning cycle is completed, and 100-1000 cycles are continued to complete the activation. The invention also provides a zinc ion battery using the ferric ferricyanide activated by the above method as a cathode. An electrochemically more stable structure is produced by the activation method of the present invention, so that the Zn-FeHCF battery can achieve a record-breaking cycle performance of higher capacity retention after an ultra-long cycle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for activating ferricyanide and a zinc ion battery prepared therefrom, belonging to the technical field of batteries. Background technique [0002] Zinc ion batteries (Zinc ion batteries, ZIBs), which store divalent zinc ions in the cathode body, are being intensively studied due to the high energy density and inherent safety of metallic zinc anodes. Zinc has a suitable plating / stripping voltage (approximately -0.76V vs SHE) and is electrochemically stable in water, which enables ZIBs to escape the use of toxic organic electrolytes and complex assembly in glove boxes compared to their lithium and sodium counterparts process. This advantage of the zinc anode has led researchers to pay more attention to the development of cathode host materials. Among these materials, MnO with various crystalline phases has been developed 2 Based on the cathode, the Mn(IV) / Mn(III)-based single-electron transfer reaction provides high ...
