Resumen
Una nueva membrana polielectrolítica (PEM) mejora la seguridad y el rendimiento de la batería de iones de zinc al suprimir la reactividad del agua y prevenir el crecimiento de la dendrita de zinc, lo que permite un ciclo estable y de larga duración.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias de los materiales
- La electroquímica
- Almacenamiento de energía
Sus antecedentes:
- Los electrolitos a base de agua en las baterías de iones de zinc se enfrentan a limitaciones que incluyen ventanas de voltaje estrechas, reacciones secundarias y formación de dendritas de zinc.
- Estos problemas dificultan la aplicación práctica y la estabilidad a largo plazo de las baterías acuosas de iones de zinc.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar una membrana polielectrolítica (PEM) no fluorada y conductora de cationes para hacer frente a los retos de las baterías de iones de zinc a base de agua.
- Para suprimir la reactividad del agua y las reacciones secundarias contra el ion, promoviendo al mismo tiempo la deposición uniforme de zinc.
Principales métodos:
- Se sintetizó una nueva membrana polielectrolítica (PEM) con cadenas laterales que aceptan protones y conteriones enlazados covalentemente.
- Se realizó una caracterización electroquímica, incluida la voltametría cíclica y la espectroscopia de impedancia.
- Se emplearon técnicas avanzadas de microscopía, como la microscopía electrónica de transmisión de barrido (STEM) y la microscopía de rayos X de transición (TXM).
Principales resultados:
- El PEM suprimió efectivamente la reactividad del agua al cambiar la energía LUMO y reducir el potencial de inicio de la evolución del hidrógeno.
- Los contraiones inmovilizados condujeron a un número de transferencia de Zn2+ cercano a la unidad (0,96).
- La membrana facilitó la deposición uniforme de zinc, evitando la formación de dendritas y la degradación de electrolitos, como lo demuestran STEM y TXM.
Conclusiones:
- El PEM desarrollado mejora significativamente el rendimiento electroquímico y la estabilidad de las baterías acuosas de iones de zinc.
- Este enfoque ofrece una estrategia prometedora para desarrollar baterías de iones de zinc seguras y de alto rendimiento sin costosos componentes fluorados.

Membrane electrodes, also known as p-ion electrodes, use membranes that selectively interact with free analyte ions, generating a potential difference across the membrane. The resulting membrane potential, known as the asymmetry potential, is not zero even when analyte concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal. The membrane's response is typically not selective to a single analyte but proportional to the concentration of all ions in the sample solution capable of interacting at...

Ion exchange chromatography separates charged molecules from a solution by reversibly exchanging them with mobile, or 'active', ions associated with the oppositely charged stationary phase. This method can be used to separate ions, soften and deionize water, and purify solutions. The polymers comprising the ion-exchange column are high-molecular-weight and chemically stable polymers, crosslinked to be porous and essentially insoluble. They are also functionalized with either acidic or...

On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...

Water and other polar molecules are attracted to ions. The electrostatic attraction between an ion and a molecule with a dipole is called an ion-dipole attraction. These attractions play an important role in the dissolution of ionic compounds in water.
When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
