Description

Lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material containing metal boride
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage, and particularly relates to a metal boride-containing lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material.
Background
In a lithium-sulfur battery system, metal lithium is used as a negative electrode, elemental sulfur is used as a positive electrode, the theoretical specific energy can reach 2600Wh/kg, and the theoretical specific energy is far greater than that of a modern commercial lithium ion battery. In addition, the elemental sulfur also has the characteristics of low price and environmental friendliness. Therefore, lithium sulfur batteries have a very high commercial potential. However, lithium sulfur batteries also have a number of problems, the most significant of which is the low utilization of the active material due to the non-conductivity of elemental sulfur and the poor cyclability due to the "shuttle effect". The main reason for generating the "shuttle effect" is that elemental sulfur generates a large amount of intermediate products, namely lithium polysulfide, in the discharging process, the lithium polysulfide can be dissolved in the electrolyte, polysulfide negative ions generated after the dissolution can be diffused to the surface of the metal lithium of the negative electrode, and then are subjected to reduction reaction with the metal lithium, and are returned to the positive electrode, and then oxidation reaction occurs, namely the "shuttle effect". The effect not only reduces the coulombic efficiency of the lithium-sulfur battery and corrodes the lithium metal cathode, but also generates a large amount of insulating reduction products on the surface of the lithium metal, thereby increasing the internal resistance of the battery.
In order to solve the above problems, researchers have improved the cycle stability of lithium-sulfur batteries by loading elemental sulfur into mesoporous carbon Materials with high specific surface area through the physical adsorption of the mesoporous carbon Materials (Ji XL, et al. nature Materials,2009,8, 500-; researchers have also used the chemisorption of polar substances to polysulfides to inhibit their migration to the negative electrode, for example: nitrogen is doped in mesoporous carbon to improve the surface polarity of the carbon material, thereby improving the cycle performance of the lithium-sulfur battery (Song JX et al, adv. Funct. Mater.,2014,24, 1243-1250). However, the method for producing the mesoporous carbon material and the method for doping the same are complicated, have poor adsorption to polysulfide, and have a problem of a long difference from practical performance.
