Problems solved by technology

However, experiments have shown that these zinc alloy electrode materials can only improve the performance of zinc electrodes from one or several aspects, and cannot fully improve the performance of zinc electrodes; in addition, the expensive prices of Bi and In also increase the cost of zinc electrodes, which severely limits the performance of zinc electrodes. The practical application of zinc-nickel batteries and other secondary batteries with zinc as the negative electrode

Embodiment 1

[0016] Preparation of Zn by solid phase diffusion method 100-x La x alloy. Mix the Zn and La metal powders over 300 mesh evenly according to the stoichiometric ratio (where x=0.1, 1), grind for 4 hours, put them into a special mold, and press them into an ingot under a pressure of 30 MPa. Then put the metal ingot into a stainless steel reactor, fill it with 5MPa high-purity Ar gas, seal the reactor, put it into a tube furnace, heat it to 370°C, diffuse it for 8 hours to form an alloy, and then cool it naturally After reaching room temperature, the obtained product was mechanically pulverized and set aside.

Embodiment 2

[0018] Preparation of Zn by solid phase diffusion method 100-x Mmm x Alloy (Mm is lanthanum-rich mixed rare earth, the percentages of main elements are: La: 51.38%; Ce: 28.32%; Pr: 3.92%; Nd: 16.38%). Weigh 300-mesh Zn and Mm metal powders (where x=0.1, 1) according to the formulated alloy composition, mix them evenly, grind them with an agate mortar for 5 hours, and press the ground powders into circular pieces under a pressure of 25 MPa , and then sealed in a stainless steel container, after vacuuming and gas washing, filled with 7.5MPa high-purity Ar gas, put the stainless steel container into a tubular resistance furnace, heated to 420 ° C, and diffused at a constant temperature for 10 hours to make it in solid state Diffusion in the phase to form an alloy, naturally cooled to room temperature, mechanically crushing the obtained alloy, and set aside.
