摘要/Abstract

摘要：

针对热再生氨电池（thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery，TRAB）铜电极局部结构易被腐蚀断裂这一问题，构建了骨架结构相对较稳定的复合电极并应用于TRAB，研究了不同基底材料复合电极的电镀特性及其对TRAB产电特性和最大功率输出的影响。研究结果表明，与其他基底材料复合电极的电池相比，采用泡沫镍基底材料复合电极的TRAB虽电极表面积和镀铜量相对较小，但是具有较低的物质传输阻力和最小的欧姆内阻，从而获得最大的电压输出、最大的产电量和能量密度、最高的库仑效率和最高的功率输出（11.5 mW）。可见，泡沫镍作为TRAB复合电极的基底材料是一个相对较好的选择，同时需针对复合电极孔隙大小的影响规律开展后续研究。

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the copper electrode of the thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery (TRAB) is easily corroded to break, composite electrodes with relatively stable skeleton structure was constructed and applied to TRAB. The electroplating characteristics of composite electrodes with different base materials and the influence on the power generation characteristics and maximum power output of TRAB were studied. The research results show that, compared with other base material composite electrode batteries, although the TRAB with foam nickel base material composite electrode has a relatively small electrode surface area and copper plating volume, it has lower material transmission resistance and minimum ohmic internal resistance. Obtain the largest voltage output, the largest power generation and energy density, the highest coulombic efficiency and the highest power output (11.5 mW). It can be seen that nickel foam as a base material for the TRAB composite electrode is a relatively good choice. At the same time, follow-up research on the influence of the pore size of the composite electrode is required.

Key words: thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery, composite electrode, electrode specific surface area, maximum power, mass transfer
