Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material science, and relates to a multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Lithium sulfur batteries have high theoretical specific energy and abundant raw material resources, and are receiving extensive attention as a new generation of energy equipment with development prospects. The existing lithium sulfur battery anode material can be divided into a carbon/elemental sulfur composite material and a carbon/lithium sulfide composite material, wherein the carbon/elemental sulfur composite material can generate larger volume expansion in the first-round charge and discharge process, the structure of the material is damaged, and the utilization rate of active sulfur is reduced, so that the electrochemical performance of the battery is influenced; the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material has a certain shrinkage of the structure in the first charging process, provides space for lithium intercalation discharge reaction, protects the electrode structure from damage, can also be used for assembling a battery with a non-lithium metal negative electrode material, and effectively avoids potential safety hazards caused by lithium dendrites. Therefore, the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material is widely applied as a positive electrode material of a lithium-sulfur battery.
At present, the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material is mostly prepared by a method of synthesis and then compounding, namely, the carbon material is prepared first, and then lithium sulfide is loaded into the carbon material through various ways, and the synthesis method often causes unsatisfactory dispersion of lithium sulfide active substances in the composite material, thereby affecting the utilization rate of the active substances and finally affecting the electrochemical performance of the lithium-sulfur battery. In addition, the lithium sulfide material is sensitive to moisture, so that the preparation process of the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material is complex and high in price.
CN106784754a discloses a preparation method of a carbon nanotube-lithium sulfide-carbon composite material, which adopts a tetrahydrofuran solution of carbon nanotube/lithium triethylborohydride and an anhydrous toluene solution of sublimed sulfur powder to mix, heat and evaporate to dryness, and then vapor deposition is carried out to obtain the carbon nanotube-lithium sulfide-carbon composite material. The method has complex operation process, is difficult to uniformly compound the carbon material and the lithium sulfide, has very high requirements on production equipment and environment due to the preparation of the lithium sulfide material, and increases the preparation cost of the material intangibly.
CN106229487a discloses a method for preparing a carbon/lithium sulfide composite positive electrode material of a lithium sulfur battery by carbothermic reduction of lithium sulfate, wherein the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material is directly prepared by carbothermic reduction by taking the composite material containing lithium sulfate as a precursor. The method directly uses lithium sulfate and carbon or carbon-containing organic matters to prepare the carbon/lithium sulfide composite material through high-temperature carbothermal reduction. The composite material synthesized by the method has poor shape controllability and unstable material quality, and finally the electrochemical performance of the synthesized composite material can be seriously influenced.
CN105406034a discloses a three-dimensional porous graphene-loaded carbon-coated lithium sulfide positive electrode material, and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the method comprises the steps of dispersing graphene oxide in water, adding a reducing agent, stirring and dissolving, and then performing hydrothermal reaction for 4-12 h at 120-200 ℃ to obtain a columnar three-dimensional porous graphene solution; adding lithium sulfate and a carbon source into the solution of the columnar three-dimensional porous graphene to form a soaking solution of the columnar three-dimensional porous graphene; freeze-drying the soaking solution to obtain a precursor; calcining the precursor for 2-12 hours at 800-1000 ℃ in a protective atmosphere to obtain the three-dimensional porous graphene-loaded carbon-coated lithium sulfide material. The three-dimensional porous graphene-loaded carbon-coated lithium sulfide material prepared by the method can be directly sliced to prepare a battery anode, and the steps of slurry preparation, coating and drying are omitted.
None of the above documents effectively solves the problems of unsatisfactory dispersion of lithium sulfide active material in composite materials, and general structural stability of carbon/lithium sulfide composite materials. Therefore, development of a novel carbon/lithium sulfide composite material is urgently needed to further improve the electrochemical performance of the battery.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material, a preparation method and application thereof, and the multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material prepared by the invention has the advantages that the composite effect among the three can stabilize the structure of the material, the conductivity of the material is improved, the layered structure of the reduced graphene oxide and the carbon hybrid nano tube generated in situ have a unique space limiting effect on the lithium sulfide material, and meanwhile, the volume expansion and contraction of the lithium sulfide/carbon composite nano material in the charge and discharge process are relieved, and the cycle specific capacity and the capacity retention rate are excellent.
To achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composite material, the method comprising:
mixing a lithium source, a metal salt solution and a graphene oxide solution, drying to obtain a precursor material, carrying out annealing treatment on the precursor material and organic compound powder, and carrying out autocatalysis reaction and thermal reduction reaction under the annealing treatment condition to obtain the multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material.
In the invention, the precursor material comprises a graphene oxide layer, and lithium sources and metal salts which are uniformly dispersed on the two side surfaces of the graphene oxide layer, and the precursor material and the organic compound powder are not mixed in the annealing treatment process, but are respectively placed at the two ends of a porcelain boat to be annealed together.

The invention limits that the mass ratio of the lithium source to the graphene oxide in the graphene oxide solution is 1 (3-10), and when the mass ratio is lower than 1:3, the shape controllability of the synthesized lithium sulfide/carbon composite anode material is poor and the material quality is unstable, because the graphene oxide addition amount is less, the lithium sulfate carbothermal reduction reaction and the in-situ self-catalytic reaction of the active metal nano particles are incomplete; when the mass ratio is higher than 1:10, the first-cycle capacity and the cycle capacity of the positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery are greatly reduced, because the excessive carbon material reduces the loading amount of the positive electrode active substance lithium sulfide.

The invention limits the mass ratio of the organic compound powder to the precursor material to be (1-20): 1, when the mass ratio is lower than 1:1, active metal nano particles cannot self-catalyze to generate carbon hybrid nano tubes in situ, because a small amount of organic compound powder is completely vaporized at high temperature, and is insufficient for supporting chemical vapor deposition reaction; when the mass is higher than 20:1, the shape controllability of the generated carbon hybridized nano tube is poor, so that the material shows poor electrochemical performance, and the capacity exertion of the lithium sulfide active material is influenced because a large amount of organic compound powder generates the carbon hybridized nano tube with uncontrollable shape in the annealing process.

The invention limits the annealing treatment temperature to 600-900 ℃, when the temperature is lower than 600 ℃, the raw material lithium sulfate can not be fully carbothermally reduced to generate lithium sulfide, because the lower temperature does not meet the condition of high-temperature thermal reduction; when the temperature is higher than 900 ℃, in-situ chemical vapor deposition can be caused to generate thicker and shorter carbon hybrid nanorods, because the excessive temperature limits the self-catalytic thermal reduction reaction kinetics of the active metal nanoparticles.
Preferably, the annealing treatment is performed for 0.5 to 2 hours, for example, 0.5 hours, 0.8 hours, 1 hour, 1.2 hours, 1.5 hours, 1.8 hours or 2 hours, but the annealing treatment is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of the recited values are equally applicable; more preferably 0.5 to 1 hour.
The invention limits the annealing treatment time to 0.5-2 h, and when the annealing treatment time is lower than 0.5h, the carbothermic reduction reaction is incomplete, because the shorter annealing time does not meet the condition of high-temperature thermal reduction; when the time is higher than 2 hours, the carbon hybridized nano tube with uncontrollable morphology can be generated in situ, and the carbon hybridized nano tube continuously grows on the surface layer of the reduced graphene oxide in an uncontrollable mode due to the longer annealing time.
Preferably, the heating rate of the annealing treatment is 1 to 20 ℃/min, for example, 1 ℃/min, 2 ℃/min, 4 ℃/min, 6 ℃/min, 8 ℃/min, 10 ℃/min, 12 ℃/min, 14 ℃/min, 16 ℃/min, 18 ℃/min or 20 ℃/min, but the annealing treatment is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of the values are equally applicable; more preferably 5 to 10 ℃/min.

TABLE 1
From the data of table 1:
(1) The multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite materials in examples 1-9 all have excellent circulation specific capacity and capacity retention rate, and the multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages that the structure of the material can be stabilized through the composite effect among lithium sulfide, reduced graphene oxide and carbon hybrid nanotubes, the conductivity of the material is improved, and the layered structure of the reduced graphene oxide and the carbon hybrid nanotubes generated in situ have unique space-limiting effect on the lithium sulfide material, and meanwhile, the volume expansion and shrinkage of the lithium sulfide/carbon composite nano material in the charge and discharge process are relieved, so that the multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material has excellent circulation specific capacity and capacity retention rate.
(2) The cycling specific capacity and capacity retention rate of the multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composite materials in examples 10 and 11 were lower than those in example 1, because the addition amount of the graphene oxide solution in example 10 was too low and that in example 11 was too high. When the addition amount of the graphene oxide is too low, the lithium sulfate carbothermal reduction reaction and the in-situ self-catalytic reaction of the active metal nano particles are incomplete, so that the shape controllability of the synthesized lithium sulfide/carbon composite anode material is poor and the quality of the material is unstable; when the addition amount of the graphene oxide is too high, the excessive carbon material can reduce the load of the positive active substance lithium sulfide, so that the first-circle capacity and the circulating capacity of the positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery are greatly reduced.
(3) The cycling specific capacity and capacity retention ratio of the multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composites of examples 12 and 13 were lower than that of example 1, because the addition amount of the organic compound powder of example 12 was too low, and a small amount of the organic compound powder was completely vaporized at high temperature, which was insufficient to support the chemical vapor deposition reaction, resulting in failure of the active metal nanoparticles to autocatalytically generate carbon hybrid nanotubes in situ; in example 13, the addition amount of the organic compound powder is too high, and a large amount of organic compound powder generates carbon hybridized nanotubes with uncontrollable morphology in the annealing process, so that the capacity exertion of the lithium sulfide active material is affected.
(4) The cycling specific capacity and capacity retention rate of the multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composite materials in examples 14 and 15 were lower than those in example 1, because the annealing temperature in example 14 was too low to meet the conditions of high-temperature thermal reduction, resulting in failure of complete carbothermal reduction of the raw material lithium sulfate to produce lithium sulfide; the excessive annealing temperature in example 15 limits the kinetics of the autocatalytic thermal reduction reaction of the active metal nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of thicker, shorter carbon hybrid nanorods by in situ chemical vapor deposition.
(5) The cycle specific capacity and capacity retention ratio of the multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composite materials in examples 16 and 17 were lower than those in example 1, because the annealing time was too short in example 16 to satisfy the conditions of high-temperature thermal reduction, resulting in incomplete carbothermic reaction; in example 17, the annealing time was too long, resulting in uncontrolled continuous growth of carbon hybrid nanotubes on the surface layer of the reduced graphene oxide, resulting in situ formation of carbon hybrid nanotubes with uncontrolled morphology.
(6) The cycling specific capacity and capacity retention rate of the multi-stage structured lithium sulfide/carbon composites of comparative examples 1 and 2 were much lower than those of example 1, since lithium sulfate was added to deionized water in comparative example 1 and porous carbon was used instead of graphene oxide solution, and the addition of organic compound powder was also omitted during annealing; comparative example 2 lithium sulfate was added to deionized water while omitting the organic compound powder during annealing. The composite materials obtained in comparative examples 1 and 2 are not formed into a multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material with lithium sulfide, reduced graphene oxide and carbon hybridized nanotubes, and therefore, the multi-stage structure lithium sulfide/carbon composite material obtained by the preparation method provided by the invention can stabilize the structure of the material through the composite action between the lithium sulfide, the reduced graphene oxide and the carbon hybridized nanotubes, improve the conductivity of the material, effectively relieve the volume expansion and contraction of the lithium sulfide/carbon composite nano material in the charge and discharge process, and has excellent specific circulation capacity and capacity retention rate.
While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, other and further details of the invention may be had by the present invention, it should be understood that the foregoing description is merely illustrative of the present invention and that no limitations are intended to the scope of the invention, except insofar as modifications, equivalents, improvements or modifications are within the spirit and principles of the invention.
