2Be electrolyte, described lithium salts is difficult to obtain, and price is very high, by the conductive electrolyte solution performance that forms also lower.In addition, as anode, the fail safe of battery is relatively poor with lithium or lithium alloy, and lithium is a kind of very active metal, can with effects such as above-mentioned electrolyte solution generation oxidation, decomposition, make battery failure.Simultaneously in the charging of battery, discharge process, have dendritic growth, penetrate separator, can cause partial short-circuit, set off an explosion or firing accident, this existing bibliographical information.Such battery except requiring the waterless operation environment, also needs many special process and technology on making simultaneously.Although the open circuit voltage that the non-water lithium battery of above-mentioned secondary has can be up to 4 volts about, specific capacity is also bigger, for various reasons not seen widespread use so far.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of novel secondary battery with lithium ion aqueous solution, and a series of new cathode active materials of described battery that are used for are provided.
Secondary battery with lithium ion aqueous solution of the present invention mainly comprises:
1, negative electrode: form by cathode active material, graphite and polytetrafluoroethylene, their weight ratio is 1: (2.5-5): (0.1-0.5), described cathode active material is: the composite oxides of lithium and transition elements, and the general formula of alternative this type oxide is respectively:

Battery advantage of the present invention is:, avoided adopting the defective of above-mentioned lithium salts and with the inconvenience of organic solvent, used lower zinc of metallicity etc. to make anode, the fail safe that has improved battery greatly simultaneously as electrolyte solution with lithium hydroxide aqueous solution cheap and easy to get.And manufacturing process is also fairly simple easily.The specific capacity of this type of battery is 120-200mAhr/g (cathode active material), and open circuit voltage is similar with the Zn/Mn battery to commercially available Ni/Cd about the 1.5-2.0 volt, but has avoided making anode with harmful Cd, and good invertibity is arranged, and can stand to fill deeply, put deeply.
Among the present invention with aforementioned formula (I) or (II) expression cathode active material make with known method, that is: the carbonate of lithium and other required metals or nitrate or the predetermined mole of oxide are mixed, porphyrize made in 500-1000 ℃ of calcination 2-6 hour.Perhaps the nitrate aqueous solution with above-mentioned metal mixes by the mol ratio, adds sal volatile, obtains sediment, in 500-1000 ℃ of calcination.Also available other known method preparations.The compound that contains three kinds of transition elements in the general formula (I) is the new compound of a class.0≤y≤0.4 in the general formula (I), the compound of representative, or 0.2≤y '≤0.4 in the general formula (II), the compound of representative is as the cathode active material better effects if.
The method for making of battery of the present invention is: with cathode active material, graphite and polytetrafluoroethylene powder successively by its weight ratio 1: (2.5-5): (0.1-0.5) mix, be pressed into sheet on nickel screen, as negative electrode, its area is 5.0 square centimeters.Anode magnesium, nickel or zinc metal sheet.Alkaline-resisting material such as films such as polyester, rubber with the band micropore between cathode and anode separate.Electrolyte solution is the lithium hydroxide aqueous solution of 4-5 mol.
