Abstract

水系锌碘电池(AZIBs)是一种非常受欢迎的绿色储能技术, 但它 的能量密度极大地限制了其应用. 在此, 我们报道了一种高能量密度的 可充电AZIBs, 通过将高质量碘锚定到具有大微孔体积和富吡啶氮掺杂 的独特分级多孔碳中来实现. 多孔碳结合了微孔对碘的强约束和氮掺 杂对碘的强化学吸附的优点, 可使碘的负载量高达61.6 wt%. 密度泛函 理论计算和实验研究表明, 氮掺杂所赋予的丰富活性位点能促进AZIBs 的氧化还原动力学, 吡啶氮掺杂对AZIBs的吸附可逆转化比普通氮掺杂 更有效. 高负载碘电极在1.0 C时表现出219.3 mA h g−1的高容量, 优异 的速率性能, 以及优越的循环稳定性, 在5.0 C时, 循环10,000次内的容 量衰减极低, 每圈仅为0.00147%. 由三节电池串联的初步装置, 能量密 度高, 按电池总质量计算可达72.6 W h kg−1, 几乎是商用铅酸和镍-镉电 池能量密度的两倍. 该水系电池的高能量密度和长循环寿命使其在大 规模储能应用领域具有巨大潜力.
