Definitions
- This disclosure relates to metal-air batteries and electrodes therein.
- Metal-air batteries are electro-chemical reactors that produce electric current by oxidizing metal with oxygen. These reactors can have high energy densities and be relatively inexpensive to produce. Sizes can range from the small to power hearing aids or cameras to the large to power vehicles.
- a mass of metal can form a porous anode that is saturated with an electrolyte.
- oxygen reacts at a cathode to form hydroxyl ions that migrate into the metal/electrolyte paste to form a metal hydroxide, releasing electrons to travel to the cathode.
- the metal hydroxide decays into metal oxide and the resulting water returns to the electrolyte.
- the water and hydroxyls from the anode are recycled at the cathode, so the water is not consumed.
- the reverse process can also occur.
- electrons react with the metal oxide to reform the metal, releasing hydroxyl ions that migrate to the cathode.
- the hydroxyl ions are then oxidized to oxygen gas and water.
- a metal-air battery includes a canister and a spiral wound electrode assembly disposed within the canister.
- the electrode assembly includes an ion permeable and substantially gas impermeable anode, a catalytic cathode, a dielectric separator disposed between the anode and cathode, and a gas diffusion layer adjacent to the cathode.
- a metal anode includes a metal current collector and a conductive matrix in electrical contact with the current collector.
- the conductive matrix includes metal particles in electrical contact with each other, and a gas impermeable and selectively ionically conductive integument surrounding at least a portion of each of the metal particles such that exposure of the metal particles to oxygen is reduced and relative movement of the metal particles and byproducts thereof is constrained.
- An electrode assembly includes an anode, a catalytic cathode, a dielectric separator disposed between the anode and cathode, and a gas diffusion layer adjacent to the cathode.
- the anode includes a metal current collector and a conductive matrix in electrical contact with the current collector.
- the conductive matrix includes metal particles in electrical contact with each other and a gas impermeable and ionically conductive skin surrounding at least a portion of each of the metal particles such that exposure of the metal particles to oxygen is reduced and relative movement of the metal particles and byproducts thereof is constrained.
- Figures 1A, IB and 1C are side views, in cross-section slices, of an electrode assembly at three different moments in time during a discharge cycle.
- Figures 2 and 3 are side views, in cross-section, of portions of metal-air batteries.
- Figure 4 is an end view of the metal-air battery of Figure 2.
- Figures 5 and 6 are end views of other metal-air batteries.
- Figure 7 is a side view, in cross-section, of a portion of the metal-air battery of Figure
- Figure 8 is a block diagram of a metal-air battery system.
- Anodes of aqueous alkaline metal-air batteries can corrode when exposed to oxygen.
- Spiral winding metal-air battery electrode assemblies can reduce manufacturing costs and improve the surface-to-volume ratio between the electrode interface and the electrode surface area. This improvement in surface-to-volume ratio, however, can promote exposure of the anode to oxygen and hence exacerbate corrosion of the anode.
- Certain electrode assemblies disclosed herein include a substantially oxygen impermeable anode. As such, little to no oxygen can react with the anode active material.
- an electrode assembly 10 includes a gas diffusion layer
- the GDL 12 acts as a manifold to direct oxygen to the cathode 14. Its thickness can range from 300 to 2000 microns.
- the cathode 14, in this example, includes a mass of electrically connected particles 20 having a coating of electrolyte 21 over their surface that allows ion transport to the adjacent separator 16 and anode 18 and allows gas transport between the particles 20.
- the cathode 14 also includes an embedded expanded metal current collector 22.
- the cathode 14 is catalytic and porous to allow oxygen from the GDL 12 to interact with the particles 20. Its thickness can range from 100 to 300 microns.
- the separator 16 is porous to allow passage of electrolyte and is dielectric to insulate the cathode 14 from the anode 18.
- the separator 16 is a polymer with a number of small vias 23. Its thickness can be less than 50 microns. Other assembly arrangements are, of course, also possible.
- the anode 18 includes a conductive matrix 24.
- the conductive matrix 24 includes, in this example, connected (fused, sintered, compressed, etc.) active material particles 26, such as zinc particles, aluminum particles, lithium particles, etc., conductive structures 28, such as conductive fibers, conductive nanotubes, a graphite powder, a metal powder, a conductive polymer, metal whiskers, compressed metal fibers, a metal felt, a carbon felt, etc., in contact with and/or embedded in the active material 26, and a gas impermeable, ion permeable integument 30, such as an ion permeable polymer (e.g., modified polystyrenes, perfluorosulfonic acid, etc.) or metal oxide, on the active material 26 (and any products of the oxidation of the active material 26 discussed in greater detail below) that constrains the relative movement of the particles 26 and any byproducts thereof.
- the conductive matrix 24, in this example, is bathed in the electrolyte 21.
- an electrical load (not shown) can be placed across terminals (not shown) electrically connected to the current collectors 22, 34 during discharge.
- Air from the GDL 12 flows through the cathode 14 as well as possibly the separator 16 and anode 18.
- Oxygen from the air reacts with water on the catalytic particles 20 to form hydroxyl ions that then migrate through the separator 16 to the integument 30 via the electrolyte 21.
- the ions then diffuse through the integument 30 and react with the active material 26 to release electrons that travel to the current collector 34 via the active material 26 and/or conductive structures 28, and also form an intermediate metal hydroxide (not shown), which then converts to a metal oxide 26', thereby releasing water.
- Oxidation of the active material 26 can cause metal oxide 26' to form in the outermost regions of each of the active material particles 26 first, then forming inward as discharge time continues. Because the metal oxide 26' can be non-conductive and hence isolate electrons from a conductive path to the current collector 34, the conductive structures 28 can provide additional conductive paths for electron travel through the metal oxide 26'.
- an electrical source (not shown) can be placed across the terminals
- Electrons from the electrical source travel through the current collector 34 to the metal oxide 26' in contact therewith. Alternatively, electron travel can take place through the current collector 34 to the active material 26 and/or the conductive structures 28. The electrons reduce the metal oxide 26' to produce (or charge) the active material 26, which in the presence of water releases hydroxyl ions. These ions migrate through the electrolyte 21 (in the anode 18 and separator 16) to the cathode 14, whereupon the hydroxide ions are oxidized to produce oxygen gas (not shown) and water in the presence of a suitable catalyst. The oxidation of hydroxide releases electrons that are electrically conducted to the expanded metal current collector 22 and then to the anode current collector 34 via the current source. This completes the electrical and electrochemical circuit.
- the metal oxide 26' is sufficiently conductive itself, or if it is sufficiently blended with a dopant or a conductive additive such as sub-micron carbon particles, the conductive structures 28 can be omitted.
- the porous separator 16 can be replaced with an ionically conductive membrane to reduce the intrusion of air into the anode 18.
- a conductive variant of the GDL 12 and catalyst 20, in other examples, can be combined to form a catalyst-coated GDL (not shown) that allows passage of air and also provides a current collection function and ionic contact.
- coated conductive matrix 24 can be produced in any of several ways including
- these methods can be adapted to start with a mixture of oxidized metal, binders, conductive structures, ionomers, or electrolyte to achieve an electrode that is substantially in the discharged state and is then processed through a formation step to achieve a suitable structure that provides protection of the active mass against intruding gases.
- a metal-air battery 36 includes a conductive canister 38 having an end portion 40 including a plurality of perforations 42, a non- conductive cap 44 having a plurality of perforations 46 and sealed against an end of the canister 38 opposite the end portion 40, and an anode terminal post 48 disposed along a center axis of the battery 36 and extending from the end portion 40 through the cap 44.
- the electrode assembly 10 is spiral -wound (jelly-rolled) around the post 48 such that the current collector 34 ( Figure 1) of the anode 18 contacts the post 48.
- the electrode assembly 10 is shown to be wound approximately three times. Any suitable number of windings, however, can be used.
- the current collector 22 ( Figure 1) of the cathode 14 is electrically connected with the canister 38 via a metal tab, wires, etc.
- Non-conductive spacers 52, 54 each including a plurality of perforations 56, 58 respectively are positioned at end portions of the electrode assembly 10 to provide mechanical stability for the jellyroll 10 yet allow air passage through the spacers 52, 54 and then the jellyroll 10.
- the perforations 42, 46, 56, 58 permit gas to flow through the metal-air battery 36 to promote the electro-chemical reactions described with reference to Figure 1. As discussed in more detail below, the perforations 42, 46, 56, 58 can also be arranged to promote generally uniform and/or swirling flow of gas into the electrode assembly 10.
- Figure 2 The configuration of Figure 2 can be reversed such that the post 48 is wrapped initially by the cathode 14, thereby providing a positive terminal at the post 48.
- the canister 38 can be conductive and the post 48 can be isolated from the canister 38 with a crimp- sealed polymer or a glass-to-metal seal.
- Other configurations are also possible.
- the post 48 need not be disposed along the center axis of the battery 36, etc.
- a metal-air battery 136 includes a conductive canister 138 having an end portion 140, a non-conductive cap 144 sealed against an end of the canister 138 opposite the end portion 140, and an anode terminal post 148 disposed along a center axis of the battery 136 and extending from the end portion 140 through the cap 144.
- the battery 136 also includes an electrode assembly 110 spiral -wound around the post 148 such that the current collector (not shown) of the anode 118 contacts the post 148, and non-conductive spacers 152, 154 positioned at or near end portions of the electrode assembly 110.
- the battery 136 includes an internal source of oxygen 160, such as metal organic framework compounds or a high pressure vessel with a highly compressed quantity of oxygen, disposed in this example between the electrode assembly 110 and spacer 154.
- the source of oxygen 160 could be disposed in any desired location. It, for example, could be placed between the electrode assembly 110 and spacer 152, etc.
- the source of oxygen 160 is the source of oxygen for the electrochemical reactions described with reference to Figure 1.
- a metal-air battery 236 includes a non-conductive cap 244 having a plurality of passageways 246 arranged to promote vertical air flow there through.
- a metal-air battery 336 includes an end portion 340 having a plurality of openings or ducts 346 arranged to induce air swirl and mixing as the air enters, for example, under forced convection. Openings or ducts, in other examples, can be positioned on sidewall portions of the cap and/or canister. Testing, simulation, etc. can be used to determine optimum opening arrangement. Gas passageways of other components can be similarly optimized to achieve desired performance.
- a metal-air battery system 462 can include a pressurized gas (or oxygen) source 464 in fluid communication with a metal-air battery 436.
- the air-source 464 is arranged to force air through the battery 436 at selectable rates to achieve desired performance.
- the battery 436 in other examples, can be arranged with an air sink (not shown) arranged to pull air through the battery 436 at selectable rates. Other configurations are also possible.
- forced air convection can improve current density and lower polarization by raising the oxygen stoichiometry for the reaction at the air cathode catalyst particles during discharge, or by diluting the oxygen formed during the charge process.
