摘要
The free corrosion behavior and electrochemical properties of Al-Zn-In-Mg-Ga-Mn alloys, as anodes working with 2 mol/L NaCl and 4 mol/L KOH electrolytes were studied. Results revealed that in the two electrolytes, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) of alloy anodes shifted negatively by 0.041 V and 0.018 V, and the free corrosion rates decreased by 0.2146 and 15.1 mg·cm-2·h-1, respectively in the contrast to those of pure Al anode. The electrochemical activity of pure Al anode was improved, while its free corrosion behavior was inhibited. In the 2 mol/L NaCl electrolyte, the discharge capacity peak of the alloy anode reached 2608.96 Ah·kg-1, which was 55.59% higher than that of the pure Al anode. The highest energy density attained 1742.61 Wh·kg-1, being 274.58% superior to that of the pure Al anode. The anode efficiency was 87.55%. In the 4 mol/L KOH electrolyte, the highest discharge capacity of the Al-Zn-In-Mg-Ga-Mn alloy anode was 1605.15 Ah·kg-1, which was 131.27% higher than that of the pure Al anode. The highest energy density was 1404.83 Wh·kg-1, which was 231.52% higher than that of the pure Al anode. The anode efficiency was 53.86%. © 2024 Chinese Journal of Materials Research.
