    Keggin型磷钼钒酸复合电极的制备及储锌性能研究

    Study on preparation and zinc storage performances of keggin-type phosphomolybdovanadic acid composite electrodes

    • 摘要: 水系锌离子电池(AZIBs)兼具高能量密度和本质安全等优点,在储能领域展现出广阔的发展前景。然而,水合Zn2+离子的半径较大,导致正极材料在充放电过程中易发生结构坍塌或不可逆相变。因此,开发稳定高效的储锌正极材料,是推动AZIBs快速发展的关键之一。多金属氧酸盐(简称多酸),具有较高的氧化还原能力和多电子转移等特性,是极具潜力的电化学储能材料。但多酸自身存在易团聚、易溶于水和导电性差等问题,导致其倍率性能和循环寿命不理想。基于此,制备了一系列钒(V)改性的Keggin型磷钼钒酸,并将其与还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)−聚苯胺 (PANI)载体进行复合,以抗多酸溶解团聚的同时,增强其导电性。研究表明,V由于具有更高的电负性,能够增强多酸的氧化还原能力。因而V改性的多酸基电极材料的电化学性能,特别是倍率性能得到了显著提高。其中,2个V原子取代改性的多酸基电极,在0.2 A/g的电流密度下放电比容量达286 mAh/g,且在2 A/g的高电流密度下循环1000圈后,容量保持率仍达77%。反应动力学研究进一步证实,多酸基电极材料在AZIBs中的电化学反应过程为扩散和电容共同控制,且具有较大的Zn2+扩散系数和较好的电荷转移动力学,能够为高效储锌提供有利保障。本研究可为高性能AZIBs电极材料的设计和开发提供新思路和新方法。

       

      Abstract: Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) exhibit broad development in the energy storage field due to their advantages of high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, because the large radius of hydrated Zn2+ ions, the cathode materials are prone to structural collapse or irreversible phase transition during the charge-discharge process.Therefore, developing stable and efficient cathode for zinc-storage materials is one of the keys for the rapid development of AZIBs. Polyoxometalates (POMs for short), with their characteristics of high redox activity and multi-electron transfer, are regarded as promising electrochemical energy storage materials. Nevertheless, POMs suffer from problems such as easy agglomeration, high solubility and poor electrical conductivity, which results in unsatisfactory rate performance and cycle life. Based on this, a series of Keggin-type Phosphomolybdovanadic acids were prepared in this paper and then compounded with reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-polyaniline (PANI) substrates. This strategy not only inhibits the dissolution and agglomeration of POMs, but also enhances their electrical conductivity. The research results show that V-modified POMs have remarkably improved their redox capability attributed to the higher electronegativity of V. Therefore, the electrochemical performance, especially the rate capability, for the V-modified POMs have markedly improved. Among them, the POM-based electrode with 2 V substitutions delivers an outstanding discharge capacity of 286 mAh/g at 0.2 A/g. Moreover, after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 2 A/g, the capacity retention rate still remains at 77%. Further reaction kinetics studies confirm that the electrochemical reaction process of polyoxometalate-based electrode materials in AZIBs is controlled by diffusion and capacitance. These materials also exhibit a large Zn2+ diffusion coefficient and favorable charge transfer kinetics, which can provide a solid guarantee for efficient zinc storage. This study is expected to offer new insights and strategies for the design and development of high-performance AZIBs electrode materials.
