Chinese patent CN1357934A, published in 2002, 7, 10, discloses a method of adding 0.1-5wt% of at least one of oxides of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and titanium to a conventional manganese dioxide positive electrode, wherein the high-rate discharge time is prolonged by 5-10% compared with that of a common alkaline zinc-manganese battery.
In recent years, with the continuous development of nanotechnology, nano manganese dioxide has attracted attention of many researchers as a novel and efficient battery material. Chinese patent CN1513767A discloses a method for preparing ultrafine manganese dioxide, which comprises adding surfactant (ethanol or ethylene glycol) into soluble manganese salt to form micro-emulsion droplets, adding alkali to generate manganese hydroxide, oxidizing, dehydrating, and calcining to obtain ultrafine manganese dioxide powder.

Compared with Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD), the nano manganese dioxide has small particle size and large specific surface area, can increase the contact between active substances and electrodes, reduce the internal resistance of the battery and improve the diffusion performance of protons, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate and the electrochemical activity of the battery. In particular, the unique microstructure of nanotubes, and the unusual characteristics resulting therefrom, would show potential applications in electrochemical performance. Thus: exploration of gamma-MnO 2 Preparation method of nanotube and for one-dimensional gamma-MnO 2 The research on the electrochemical properties of the nano material has very important significance for improving the comprehensive performance of the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery. In addition, in order to further improve the discharge performance of the battery, it is also important that the cathode of the battery adopts high-specific surface area and high-purity electrolytic nano zinc particles.

The anode comprises 85% (all by mass) of gamma-MnO 2 Nanotube/nanowire (gamma-MnO) 2 11g of nanotubes and nanowires), 8% of activated carbon and 7% of electrolyte (containing 40% of KOH); the negative electrode comprises 65% of electrolytic nano zinc particles, 31% of electrolyte (containing 40% of KOH) and 4% of a mixture of ZnO (nano ZnO particles is 0.3 g) and PTFE.

It can be seen from the figure that: the high-power alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery has stable discharge performance under different currents even if 1A of large current is usedDischarging by current for 2.9 hours, and discharging the commercial alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery for 1 hour under the same condition; as can be seen in conjunction with the data in table 1: the capacity and energy of the alkaline zinc-manganese battery are reduced slightly along with the increase of discharge current, which shows that the alkaline zinc-manganese battery has excellent high-rate discharge performance.

Example 7:
FIG. 8 shows the measured values in gamma-MnO according to example 5 2 The alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery assembled by the nano tube/nano wire and the electrolytic zinc is continuously discharged to a constant resistance discharge curve of 0.8V under different resistances (1.5, 3,6 and 12 Ohms) at 20 ℃. As can be seen from the figure: when the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery is discharged under 1.50hms and 30hms, the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery can be respectively discharged for 3.7h and 7.5h continuously, and has higher capacity and energy, which shows that the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery has good heavy-load discharge performance.
Example 8:
FIG. 9 shows the measured values for γ -MnO in example 5 2 The alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery assembled by the nano tube/nano wire and the electrolytic zinc is continuously discharged to a constant power discharge curve of 0.8V under different powers (0.25, 0.5,1, 2W) at 20 ℃. In combination with the data in table 1, it was found that: the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery has good discharge performance under different powers, and particularly has basically the same capacity and energy under the high power conditions of 1W and 2W, which shows that the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery has excellent high-power discharge performance.
Example 9:
the increase of internal resistance of the common commercial alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery under high-rate discharge condition is larger, which is a main reason for faster reduction of capacity and energy in the discharge process. And adopting nano material as electricityThe electrode material can greatly reduce internal resistance and effectively improve the high-current discharge performance. Resistance analysis (fig. 10) showed that: as in example 5 with gamma-MnO 2 When the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery assembled by the nano tube/nano wire and the electrolytic zinc is continuously discharged under different load conditions, the internal resistance increases slightly. For example, at the beginning of discharge, its internal resistance is lower than 0.10hms, and at the end of continuous discharge under a load of 2.4Ohms, its internal resistance is lower than 0.450hms, which is a small increase compared to the ordinary commercial alkaline zinc-manganese battery. Illustrating the use of gamma-MnO 2 The nanotube/nanowire and electrolytic zinc as electrode materials can obviously reduce the increase of internal resistance in the discharge process, which plays an important role in improving the discharge performance of the battery.
Example 10:
to compare and illustrate the effect of different electrode materials on cell performance, gamma-MnO was used 2 An LR6 type alkaline zinc-manganese battery was fabricated in the same manner as in example 5, using nanotubes/nanowires and commercially available molten zinc. Meanwhile, the electrochemical performance of a commercially available AA battery (domestic DuracellMN1600, 2005) was tested and compared.
Fig. 11 is a discharge curve of three AA-type batteries (two assembled batteries and a commercially available battery) discharged continuously at a current of 100mA to 0.8V at 20 ℃. As seen from the figure: the discharge curve shapes of the three batteries are similar; both assembled cells had longer discharge times, higher discharge plateaus, and higher discharge capacities than the commercial cells. Of the two assembled cells, the high power alkaline zinc-manganese battery of the invention has a specific gamma-MnO 2 The better discharge performance of the nanotube/nanowire and molten zinc assembled cell is mainly due to the fact that the anode active material electrolytic zinc of the high-power alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide cell of the invention has a larger specific surface area than the commercially available molten zinc (fig. 12 is an SEM image of the molten zinc).
By comparing electrochemical performance tests of three alkaline zinc-manganese batteries, it can be seen that: the alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide battery has higher electrochemical capacity, high power and high rate discharge performance. This results from nanoscale electrodesThe material has the characteristics of structure: gamma-MnO as positive electrode active material 2 The nanotube/nanowire has larger specific surface area, so that the contact between an active substance and electrodes can be effectively increased, the internal resistance of a battery is reduced, the diffusion performance of protons is improved, and the exchange of water in the reaction process is improved, so that the utilization rate of the nanotube/nanowire is remarkably improved, and experiments show that when the nanotube/nanowire is discharged at 0.1A, gamma-MnO is generated 2 The utilization rate of the nano tube/nano wire can reach 91 percent; particularly, the opening and hollow structure of the nanotube enables the proton diffusion process in the electrode reaction to be easier to carry out, the speed is higher, and the high-power and high-rate discharge performance of the manganese dioxide electrode is improved; the cathode is composed of electrolytic zinc with large surface area and high purity, so that solid and liquid phases can be distributed more uniformly, the passivation and corrosion of zinc are effectively reduced, and the utilization rate of zinc is greatly improved. Therefore, the battery has higher electrochemical capacity and good high-power and high-rate discharge performance, can meet different working conditions, is a high-power alkaline zinc-manganese battery with excellent performance, and has wide application prospect.
