Sustainable Gel Electrolyte Containing Pyrazole as Corrosion Inhibitor and Dendrite Suppressor for Aqueous Zn/LiMn₂O₄ Battery

The Zn anode in secondary aqueous batteries suffers from dendrite formation and corrosion. In this work, dendrite formation was suppressed by using a simple but new gel electrolyte containing fumed silica and an additive. The dendrite suppression was evidenced by chronoamperometry and ex situ scanning electron microscopy examinations. Pyrazole was implemented as the additive in the electrolyte. It was found that the presence of 0.2 wt % pyrazole in the electrolyte helped minimize both corrosion and dendrite formation. The Zn/LiMn O battery using pyrazole-containing gel electrolytes exhibited high cyclability up to 85 % capacity retention after 500 charge-discharge cycles at 4C. This was 8 % higher than the performance of the reference battery (using aqueous electrolyte containing 2 m Li SO and 1 m ZnSO ). Furthermore, self-discharge of the battery with the pyrazole-containing gel electrolyte was suppressed, as evidenced by an open-circuit voltage loss that was 20 % lower than for the reference battery after 24 h monitoring. Float-charge current density under constant voltage (2.1 V) also significantly decreased from approximately 8.0 to 3-6 μA.

attention. [9][10][11] AZIBs are considered as one of the most ideal candidates for largescale energy storage owing to their following advantages:i) The excellent properties of zinc: According the data in Table 1, the abundance of zinc in the earth's crust is 79 ppm, and ranks fourth in the world metal production, so zinc has a low market price. Zn metal anode has good electrical conductivity (5.91 µΩ cm), high volumetric energy density (5851 mAh cm −3 ), high theoretical capacity (819 mAh g −1 ), and relatively low redox potential (−0.76 V vs standard hydrogen electrode) which is more suitable in aqueous solution. In addition, multivalent zinc ion can transfer two electrons to facilitate more energy storage than the univalent batteries. [12] At the same time, the ionic radius of zinc ions is 0.74 Å, which is smaller than that of sodium ions (1.02 Å) and close to that of lithium ions (0.69 Å). Moreover, zinc is the essential trace element for human body. [9] In brief, Zn has the superiorities of low cost, low-toxicity, abundant resource, easily recycle, and environmental friendliness.ii) The higher ionic conductivity and safety of aqueous electrolytes: The aqueous electrolytes offer two orders of higher magnitude ionic conductivities (≈1 S cm −1 ) than that of organic electrolytes (≈10 −2 -10 −3 S cm −1 ), so aqueous battery usually has higher power density. [3,13] Meanwhile, the organic electrolytes are usually toxic and flammable, while the aqueous electrolytes are nontoxic and safe, which can mitigate the environmental disruption and recycling costs. iii) The facile assembly process: AZIBs can be assembled in the air condition owing to the stability of zinc anode and aqueous electrolyte. Compared with the batteries assembled in the inert-gas glove box, the manufacturing costs of ZIBs are greatly reduced. The facile manufacture and recycling of AZIBs is an important advantage in the large-scale storage applications.Combining the above advantages, low-cost, safe, and green next-generation AZIBs are suitable specifically for large-scale stationary storage applications. So far, AZIBs are still at the infancy stage. The related researches mainly focused on cathode materials. We count the publication numbers of the reported cathodes for AZIBs in the period from 2012 to February 2019 (1, Supporting Information). As illustrated in Figure 1a, the number of annual publications on cathodes for AZIBs continues to increase rapidly in the recent years. However, in the preliminary stage, Electrochemical energy storage devices will definitely play a vital role in the future energy landscape of the world. The innovation of electrode materials is a key task for the breakthrough of present bottleneck faced by electrochemical energy storage devices. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are gaining rapid attention, and they offer tremendous opportunities to explore the low-cost, safe, and next-generation green batteries for large-scale stationary storage applications. In this review, the authors aim to give a comprehensive overview ...
