This invention discloses a method for preparing and applying
phosphorus-doped
sulfur nanoparticles. In these nanoparticles,
phosphorus is uniformly distributed on the
sulfur nanoparticles, forming S-P chemical bonds between them. Utilizing the properties that elemental
phosphorus and
sulfur are soluble and miscible in
ethylenediamine solution, a solution of sulfur and phosphorus in a specific ratio is prepared and added to an organic solution containing a surfactant. A
formic acid solution of a certain concentration is then added dropwise to precipitate the product. After washing and freeze-
drying, the phosphorus-doped sulfur nanoparticles are obtained. This preparation method avoids high-temperature heating, directly forming P-S bonds through a wet chemical method to achieve
phosphorus doping of sulfur. It boasts a high yield and can be
mass-produced. The nano-sized phosphorus-doped sulfur particles, due to their excellent properties such as high specific surface area and nanoscale effect, can be applied in
energy storage fields such as
lithium-sulfur batteries, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance.
