Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, aqueous lithium-ion batteries have been widely studied due to their advantages of high power, low environmental pollution, etc. In this paper, we use LiFePO₄ which has better stability in alkali systems as a positive electrode, graphite plate as the negative electrode. The reactivity of the lithium insertion/extraction, zinc deposition/dissolution and the stability of positive electrode material were studied by SEM, XRD, cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and other methods.

Key words: aqueous lithium-ion batteries, LiFePO4, electrolyte, stability

CLC Number:
