Description

Metal thio compound @ S composite material, preparation thereof and application thereof in lithium-sulfur battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material, and belongs to the field of lithium-sulfur secondary batteries.
Background
With the development of society, on one hand, the performance requirements of the public on portable electronic products are continuously improved; on the other hand, people have increased environmental awareness and knowledge of non-renewable resources, so that energy storage power stations, electric vehicles and smart power grids of various scales begin to develop rapidly. The two reasons are that the requirements on the energy density and the power density of the lithium ion battery are higher and higher, but the lithium ion battery system with the best comprehensive performance at present is difficult to meet the requirements on high specific energy in the future society due to the limitation of the theoretical lithium storage capacity of the battery system and the electrode material.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are the most promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because their theoretical energy density (2500Wh/kg) is much higher than the energy density of existing lithium ions (200 Wh/kg). However, during the lithiation/delithiation process of the Li-S battery, polysulfide which is an intermediate product of the sulfur positive electrode reaction is dissolved in the ether electrolyte and migrates out from the positive electrode, and then disproportionation reaction is carried out on the negative electrode or other parts of the battery to form insoluble Li2S or Li2S2Li deposited on the negative electrode or other non-conducting region2S or Li2S2It loses activity, resulting in continuous loss of active material and degradation of battery capacity.
In order to solve the problem of lithium polysulfide shuttling of lithium-sulfur batteries, the most common strategy is to use a nano-structured carbon material with a high specific surface area to adsorb sulfur in pores of the carbon material, and prevent polysulfide shuttling by physical adsorption and restriction. For example, patent CN201410256653 discloses a nitrogen-doped graphene-coated nano sulfur positive electrode composite material, and nano sulfur particles are uniformly coated by nitrogen-doped graphene sheet layers, so that the dissolution and shuttle effects of polysulfides in a lithium sulfur battery are effectively inhibited, and the cycle stability of the battery is improved. In patent CN102208645A, amorphous carbon is coated on the surface of the sulfur-based cathode active material, the particles of the cathode material are 10 nm-10 μm, and the thickness of the amorphous carbon layer is 1-5 nm, which significantly improves the conductivity of the cathode material. The carbon material coating has a certain effect on inhibiting polysulfide shuttling, but with repeated dissolution and deposition of sulfur in the charging and discharging processes, sulfur active substances gradually migrate from the interior of the carbon to the surface, so that the carbon material loses the effect. In order to achieve better reduction of polysulfide dissolution, a thicker carbon material coating is often required, and although better conductivity is ensured, lithium ion transport is significantly inhibited. In addition, some researchers coat the surface of sulfur particles with an organic conductive polymer or metal nitrogen and sulfide with polarity, for example, patent CN102447113A proposes a lithium battery using a polymer-coated sulfur/carbon composite material as an anode, the composite material is dispersed in a solution, a polymer monomer is added, then an oxidant is added under the protection of inert gas at a low temperature to initiate polymerization, centrifugation, washing and drying are performed to obtain a polymer-coated elemental sulfur/carbon composite material, CN201711394697 coats molybdenum disulfide on the outer layer of a sulfur-containing hollow microsphere, the polar molybdenum disulfide can effectively adsorb polysulfide molecules which are also polar, the dissolution of the polysulfide molecules in an electrolyte is inhibited to a certain extent, the utilization rate of elemental sulfur is improved, and the shuttle effect is inhibited.
