Abstract

The battery's high energy density, economical price, and ecological sustainability of the Zn-air battery make it a bright future battery technology. However, parasitic reactions, which can diminish the battery's life cycle and efficacy, are the key challenges for potential development of Zn-air batteries. Glycyrrhiza glabra roots extract (GGRE) has been investigated as an alternative hydrogen gas evolution and corrosion inhibitor for Zn-air batteries in order to mitigate the parasitic reaction. The results obtained reveal that the inhibition capacity of the GGRE extract increases with concentration and reaches its highest level (75.6 %) around 350 mg l^-1 of GGRE extract. GGRE extract is a mixed type inhibitor with a predominately cathodic effect based on the polarization data. The GGRE extract adsorption on the Zn surface complies with Freundlich isotherm. In comparison to the blank Zn-KOH (354 mAh g^-1), the battery containing 350 mg l^-1 GGRE extract has the highest discharge capacity (533 mAh g^-1) and the best cyclability (92.9 % retention after 500 cycles). Overall, GGRE extract can significantly optimize the performance of Zn-air batteries.

植物提取物添加剂对碱性锌-空气电池寄生反应的影响

锌空气电池具有高能量密度、经济实惠的价格和生态可持续性等特点，是一种前景广阔的电池技术。然而，寄生反应会降低电池的寿命和功效，是锌-空气电池潜在发展面临的主要挑战。为了减轻寄生反应，研究人员研究了甘草根提取物（GGRE）作为锌-空气电池氢气进化和腐蚀抑制剂的替代品。研究结果表明，GGRE 提取物的抑制能力随浓度的增加而增加，在 350 毫克/升 GGRE 提取物左右达到最高水平（75.6%）。根据极化数据，GGRE 提取物是一种混合型抑制剂，主要具有阴极效应。GGRE 提取物在 Zn 表面的吸附符合 Freundlich 等温线。与空白 Zn-KOH（354 mAh g-1）相比，含有 350 mg L-1 GGRE 提取物的电池具有最高的放电容量（533 mAh g-1）和最佳的循环性（500 次循环后保持率为 92.9%）。总体而言，GGRE 提取物可显著优化锌-空气电池的性能。
