The development history of batteries went from the birth of Daniel batteries in 1836 to the invention of lead-acid batteries in 1859, to the invention of silver oxide batteries in 1883, the commercialization of batteries in 1888, the invention of nickel cadmium batteries in 1899, and the invention of nickel iron batteries in 1901. After entering the 20th century, battery theory and technology were in a period of stagnation. But after World War II, battery technology entered a period of rapid development. Firstly, in order to meet the needs of heavy load applications, alkaline zinc manganese batteries were developed, and nickel cadmium batteries were sealed in 1951. In 1958, Harris proposed using organic electrolytes as electrolytes for lithium primary batteries, and in the early 1970s, specialized and civilian applications were achieved. Subsequently, based on environmental considerations, the research focus shifted to batteries. After the commercialization of nickel cadmium batteries in the early 20th century, they developed rapidly in the 1980s.

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the use of toxic metals such as lead and cadmium is increasingly restricted. Therefore, it is necessary to find new rechargeable batteries that can replace traditional lead-acid batteries and nickel cadmium batteries. Lithium ion batteries naturally become one of the strong candidates.

Lithium ion batteries were invented around 1990. In 1991, lithium-ion batteries were commercialized. The polymer lithium ion battery was invented in 1995, and began to be commercialized in 1999 (using gel polymer electrolyte as separator and electrolyte). The scope of use of batteries in modern society has evolved from the starting power of flashlights, radios, cars, and motorcycles in the 1940s to the current 40-50 uses. From electronic watches, CD players, mobile phones, MP3 players, MP4 players, cameras, cameras, various remote controls, shaving knives, pistol drills, children's toys, etc. From emergency power sources in hospitals, hotels, supermarkets, telephone exchanges, and other places, special batteries for electric tools, tugboats, trailers, forklifts, wheelchairs, golf sports vehicles, electric bicycles, electric vehicles, wind power stations, and special, special, and specialized batteries. There are also specialized batteries that can meet various special requirements. Batteries have become an essential and convenient energy source for human society.

The development process of batteries in China

The first battery factory in China was born in Shanghai in 1911. The first professional lead-acid battery factory, Shanghai Battery Factory, was also established in Shanghai in 1921. In 1941, the telecommunications materials factory under the Third Bureau of the Central Military Commission in Yan'an began producing zinc manganese dry batteries and repairing lead-acid batteries. In 1957, the Chemical Power Supply Research Office of the Electrical Materials Bureau of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering was established. In 1958, it became the first professional research institute in China, formerly known as the Chemical Power Supply Research Institute of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (formerly known as the Tianjin Power Supply Research Institute of the Ministry of Electronic Industry). In 1960, China's first alkaline battery factory, Fengyun Equipment Factory, was officially accepted and put into operation in Xinxiang, Henan. In the early 1990s, the country began the "863" key research and development, which led to rapid development of the production of Ni-MH batteries. In the future, the country will once again focus on tackling the "863" lithium-ion battery project, hoping to promote the localization of lithium-ion batteries and their materials.

The necessity of developing lithium-ion battery production in China

For the current battery industry in our country, the main problems are severe environmental pollution and resource waste. For environmental pollution, due to the low level of automation and mechanization in China's battery industry, many enterprises operate manually, resulting in significant pollution in the production process and posing a great threat to the health of workers. The dry battery industry was once jokingly referred to as a "polluting enterprise" and a "black industry". These pollutants mainly include MnO2 powder, HgO, asphalt smoke, smoke, paraffin smoke, etc. Among them, mercury is the most concerned and highly toxic heavy metal, and extremely trace amounts of mercury have great toxicity to the human body. Currently, developed countries have announced a ban on the production and import of mercury batteries starting from 1994. Currently, most manufacturers in China still produce mercury batteries. The main pollutants in the lead-acid battery industry include Pb, Pbo dust, acid mist, and waste acid. Lead is also a highly toxic heavy metal, and chronic lead poisoning is mainly manifested in neurological damage, renal dysfunction, and anemia. The raw materials used in Cd Ni batteries are mostly in powder form, and there is also a problem of dust pollution; Moreover, Cd is highly toxic and can accumulate in the kidneys and bones, causing renal dysfunction. In addition, calcium in bones is replaced by cadmium, which softens the bones and causes unbearable pain. In addition, alkali mist and waste acid are also important pollutants. Zinc manganese dry batteries often exhibit copper green and slurry discharge, and there are always some MH Ni batteries that may experience alkali spray or burst during use. There is still a large proportion of lead-acid batteries that are old-fashioned open end batteries, and there is still gas and acid leakage during use.

The extensive disposal of discarded batteries wastes a significant amount of useful materials. For example, for silver batteries in dry batteries, China has basically not recycled them, and the utilization effect of low value zinc manganese dry batteries is even worse.

In order to reduce pollution, protect the environment, maintain ecological balance, and protect the limited resources on Earth, it is necessary to expand the variety of resources as much as possible, select resources with abundant reserves, and utilize resources that are conducive to environmental protection. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries have become a battery variety that China must develop.

Development history of alkaline zinc manganese batteries

The development of zinc manganese batteries has undergone a long evolution. As early as 1868, French engineer George Leclerd used manganese dioxide and carbon powder as positive electrode materials, pressed them into a porous ceramic cylinder, and inserted a carbon rod collector as the positive electrode. A zinc rod was partially inserted into the solution as the negative electrode, and the electrolyte was a 20% ammonium chloride aqueous solution. The battery container was made of glass bottles, making the first zinc manganese wet battery. In 1886, Gais changed the aqueous solution of ammonium chloride to a paste composed of ammonium chloride, zinc chloride, gypsum, and water, and made zinc sheets into cylindrical containers for batteries, while sealing them with paraffin, thus forming the prototype of the original battery. Shortly after that, flour and starch were used as gel of electrolyte solution, which greatly improved the portability of zinc manganese battery and laid a good foundation for the industrial production and widespread use of this battery. Around 1890, this type of battery was put into industrial production worldwide.

Around 1870, mercury doped zinc anodes were used to reduce self discharge of zinc. In 1877, carbon rods were treated with wax immersion to prevent them from crawling and reduce corrosion of the metal collector fluid.

In 1923, acetylene black was used instead of graphite powder to increase capacity by 40% -50%. In 1945, the application of electrolytic manganese dioxide in batteries further improved the discharge performance of zinc manganese batteries. However, with the development of the times, ordinary alkaline zinc manganese batteries cannot meet the market demand.

More than 100 years ago, someone proposed using zinc as the negative electrode, MnO2 as the positive electrode, and KOH or NaOH as the electrolyte. During the long research process, the main focus was on four issues: firstly, using powdered porous zinc electrodes instead of sheet electrodes to reduce discharge current density and solve the problem of zinc sheets being prone to passivation in alkaline solution; The second is to adopt a reverse polarity structure to increase the filling amount of MnO2 and match the positive and negative electrode capacities; The third is to treat zinc powder with mercury and add ZnO to the alkaline solution to solve the corrosion of zinc in the alkaline solution; The fourth is the improvement of sealing structure and sealing materials to solve the problem of alkali climbing.

Until around the 1950s, alkaline zinc manganese batteries were successfully developed based on zinc manganese dry batteries,. It uses zinc powder as the negative electrode, electrolytic manganese dioxide as the positive electrode, and NaOH or KOH as the electrolyte, which greatly improves the performance of the battery. It not only has high capacity, but is also suitable for high current continuous discharge. It also has excellent low-temperature performance, storage performance, and leak resistance.

However, in the early stage of alkaline manganese batteries, it was necessary to control the amount of negative electrode zinc powder in the alkaline solution. At that time, the amount of mercury used in batteries was very large, ranging from 2% to 6%. In the late 1980s, with the strengthening of people's environmental awareness, a research boom in mercury free alkaline manganese batteries was sparked, and the search for organic or inorganic mercury corrosion inhibitors and alloy elements (mainly Al, Bi, In, Pb) in zinc powder became the main research direction. By the mid-1990s, mercury free alkaline manganese batteries entered the market.

Meanwhile, extensive research has been conducted on rechargeable alkaline zinc manganese secondary batteries since the 1960s, and breakthrough progress has been made after more than 30 years of research. However, due to their shallow discharge depth and short cycle life, commercialization has not yet been achieved.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, alkaline zinc manganese batteries have experienced rapid development, with a great trend of replacing ordinary zinc manganese batteries and other batteries. The development of electrical appliances has put forward higher requirements for high capacity and high current discharge of alkaline manganese batteries. Therefore, future research on alkaline manganese batteries will mainly focus on high-power heavy load discharge performance, improvement of battery capacity, and improvement of storage life.
