1results about How to "High Sulfur Utilization Efficiency" patented technology

This invention relates to the field of battery separator materials technology, specifically to MXene-functionalized aramid paper-based battery separators, their preparation methods, and applications. Meta-aramid paper is prepared by wet papermaking using short-cut meta-aramid fibers and precipitated fibers. MXene nanosheets are prepared by hydrofluoric acid etching. Using the meta-aramid paper as a substrate, a functional coating is constructed on the surface of the aramid paper by loading a mixture of para-aramid nanofibers and MXene through a vacuum-assisted filtration-layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The resulting functionalized separator is obtained through protonation reduction. The separator, with its three-dimensional porous protective layer constructed from para-aramid nanofibers and MXene, combines physical barrier and chemical bonding, effectively inhibiting polysulfide shuttle. Furthermore, the highly active sites of MXene can activate inert sulfur-containing substances, improving sulfur utilization. When used in assembling lithium-sulfur batteries, the separator achieves an initial discharge capacity of 1244 mAh·g at a constant current density. ‑1 The capacity retention rate is 82% after 200 cycles.
