The invention relates to an aqueous
zinc ion battery positive
electrode material and a matched
electrolyte. A
chemical formula of the positive
electrode material is RxKyMn1-xO2-z, wherein x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.1, y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.5, z is greater than 0 and less than 0.1, and R is a
metal cation. A preparation process comprises the following steps:
grinding and uniformly mixing
potassium permanganate,
manganese acetate
tetrahydrate and
metal salt, then putting a mixture into a tubular furnace, carrying out heat treatment under a protective
atmosphere, washing an obtained product with deionized water, carrying out suction
filtration for several times, and then
drying the product in a
drying oven to obtain the RxKyMn1-xO2-z positive
electrode material. According to the invention, K<+> is successfully pre-embedded into a tunnel structure of a
manganese dioxide
crystal through one-step heat treatment,
metal cations are doped into the
manganese dioxide
crystal, and
oxygen vacancies are introduced into the surface of the manganese dioxide
crystal so that the
structural stability of manganese dioxide is improved, active sites are increased, and the
conductivity is improved. The material is low in production cost, simple in process, mild in reaction condition and easy for large-scale preparation. The positive
electrode material has a high specific capacity, a
high rate capability and excellent
cycling stability; and the matched and compatible
aqueous electrolyte further prolongs the long cycle life of the positive
electrode material.
