Preparation of gelatin/sodium alginate-dopamine self-adhesive degradable hydrogel electrolyte and its application in flexible zinc-air battery

  • 摘要: 本文针对柔性锌-空气电池对高粘附性、环境友好型准固态电解质的迫切需求,通过构建多巴胺接枝改性的海藻酸钠(SA-DA)与明胶复合体系,结合温度诱导凝胶化与Zn2+/NH4+协同交联策略,合成了具有三维网络结构的自粘附可降解准固态水凝胶电解质(Gelatin/SA-DA)。实验表明,当SA-DA的添加量为1.0 mL时,Gelatin/SA-DA1.0水凝胶电解质表现出协同增强的力学-电化学性能:其拉伸应力达70 kPa(应变>250%),对碳布和锌电极的界面粘附强度分别为36 kPa和20 kPa,并且离子电导率达到24.28 mS·cm−1。同时,基于Gelatin/SA-DA1.0水凝胶电解质组装的柔性锌-空气电池具有高的功率密度(26.84 mW·cm−2)和良好的循环稳定性。此外,该水凝胶电解质在3 mol·L−1 H2SO4溶液中60 min内可实现完全降解,其快速可控的降解特性为解决柔性储能器件的废弃处理问题提供了新思路。

     

    Abstract: In response to the urgent demand for highly adhesive and environmentally friendly quasi-solid electrolytes for flexible zinc-air batteries, self-adhesive and degradable quasi-solid hydrogel electrolytes with a three-dimensional network structure were synthesized through the construction of a composite system of dopamine graft-modified sodium alginate (SA-DA) and gelatine combined with a temperature-induced gelation and a synergistic cross-linking strategy of Zn2+/NH4+ (Gelatin/SA-DA). It was shown that the Gelatin/SA-DA1.0 hydrogel electrolyte exhibited synergistically enhanced mechano-electrochemical properties when SA-DA was added at an amount of 1.0 mL: its tensile stress was up to 70 kPa (strain>250%), its interfacial adhesion strength to the carbon cloth and zinc electrodes was 36 and 20 kPa, respectively, and its ionic conductivity reached 24.28 mS·cm−1. Meanwhile, the flexible zinc-air battery assembled based on the Gelatin/SA-DA1.0 hydrogel electrolyte has a high power density (26.84 mW·cm−2) and good cycling stability. In addition, the hydrogel electrolyte can be completely degraded in 3 mol·L−1 H2SO4 solution within 60 min, and its rapid and controllable degradation characteristics provide a new idea for solving the waste disposal problem of flexible energy storage devices.
