Abstract:

The electrochemical properties of industrial 6061 aluminum alloy (6061), aviation 7075 aluminum alloy (7075) and pure aluminum as anode materials for aluminum air cell were studied. Electrochemical tests, constant-current discharge experiments and surface characterization were carried out to calculate the anodic energy densities of continuous constant discharge under different current densities of 40—120mA/cm2. The surface morphology of the electrode was studied by electron probe microscopy (EPMA), and the surface analysis was performed by using a spectral analyzer (WDS). The results showed that the alloying elements changed the surface characteristics of the battery during discharge. The content of 6061 alloy element has a positive effect on the performance of the battery anode material, making the surface larger and discharge more uniformly , which suggested that 6061 was more suitable to be used as an alloy anode.

Key words: aluminum air battery, renewable energy, aluminum alloy anode, oxidation, microstructure

摘要:

研究了工业6061铝合金(6061)、航空7075铝合金(7075)和纯铝作为铝空气电池阳极材料的电化学性能,分析其作为阳极的可行性及适用环境。进行了阻抗、极化曲线和恒电流放电实验并进行了表面表征,计算了在40~120mA/cm2电流密度下连续恒流放电的阳极能量密度。用电子探针显微镜(EPMA)对电极表面形貌进行了研究,用波谱分析仪(WDS)进行表面分析。研究结果表明,合金元素在电池放电过程中会改变阳极的表面特性。6061中合金元素含量对电池阳极材料的性能产生了积极影响,使得合金的表面放电面积变大,放电均匀,更适合作为铝空气电池阳极材料。
