【摘要】 针对碱性二次锌电池负极活性物质碳包覆后容量较低的不足,采用一步热处理凝胶前驱体制备锌负极用碳包覆纳米ZnO (nano-ZnO@C)材料,研究其微观结构与电化学性能。结果表明,所获ZnO及nano-ZnO@C具体多孔分层结构,其原始颗粒尺寸约100nm。相比于商业氧化锌和所制备纯ZnO而言,nano-ZnO@C作为锌负极时具有更高的电化学活性、更低的内阻和更好的循环稳定性,放电比容量可达622 m A·h/g。其主要原因在于碳包覆纳米ZnO材料在维持负极活性物质高利用率的同时,能抑制锌枝晶的生长与电极的致密化。更多还原

【Abstract】 Although carbon coating can improve the cycle life of anode for alkaline Zn batteries, the specific capacity reported is still lower compared with nanosized ZnO. Herein, carbon-coated nanosized ZnO(nano-ZnO@C) was synthesized by one-step heat treatment from a gel precursor in N2. Commercial ZnO and homemade ZnO prepared similarly in air atmosphere were studied for comparison. Structure analysis displayed that both nano-ZnO@C and homemade ZnO had a porous hierarchical agglomerated architecture produced from primary nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 100 nm as building blocks. Electrochemical performance measurements showed that nano-ZnO@C displayed the highest electrochemical activity, the lowest electrode resistance, the highest discharge capacity(622 m A·h/g), and the best cyclic stability. These properties were due to the combination of nanosized ZnO and the physical capping of carbon, which maintained the high utilization efficiency of nano-ZnO, and simultaneously prevented dendrite growth and densification of the anode.更多还原
