preparation example Construction

[0024] An aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for preparing a carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composite material, which includes:

[0025] (1) Dissolving lithium sulfide in a first solvent to form a lithium sulfide solution, and dissolving a polymer material in a second solvent to form a polymer solution, the first solvent and the second solvent are miscible, and at room temperature lithium sulfide is the solubility in the second solvent is less than the solubility in the first solvent, while the second solvent has a higher boiling point than the first solvent;

[0026] (2) Adding the lithium sulfide solution to the polymer solution in batches while keeping the polymer solution continuously and strongly disturbed to form a uniform dispersion;

[0027] (3) keeping the state that the uniform dispersion is disturbed, and removing the solvent in the dispersion by heating to form a composite powder of polymer-coated lithium sulfide nanopar...

Embodiment 1

[0057] Dissolve 1 g of commercially available lithium sulfide powder in 50 mL of ethanol to obtain solution 1, add 1 g of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) to 50 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and stir to disperse to obtain solution 2. Under stirring, solution 1 was slowly added dropwise to solution 2. Since DMF and ethanol were miscible, a uniform dispersion could be formed. The uniform dispersion liquid is heated at 150° C. to volatilize the solvent, and after drying, PAN-coated lithium sulfide nanoparticles are obtained. Afterwards, the prepared PAN-coated lithium sulfide nanoparticles were calcined under the protection of argon, maintaining a heating rate of 5°C / min to 700°C, and maintaining a constant temperature for 2 hours. After cooling, carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystals (also known as carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composites) are obtained. like Figure 1a-Figure 1b As shown, observed with a transmission electron microscope, the product is granular, and...

Embodiment 2

[0060] 1 g of commercially available lithium sulfide powder was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol to obtain solution 1. Add 1 g of polyethylene glycol (PEG) into 50 mL of ethanol and stir to disperse to obtain solution 2. Solution 1 was slowly added dropwise to solution 2 under stirring. Since the same solvent is selected, a uniform dispersion can be formed. The product was heated at 100°C to evaporate the solvent, and dried to obtain PAN-coated lithium sulfide nanoparticles. The obtained PAN-coated lithium sulfide nanoparticles were calcined under the protection of argon, maintaining a heating rate of 5°C / min to 600°C, and maintaining a constant temperature for 2 hours. After cooling, carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystals (also known as carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composite materials) are obtained.

[0061] Afterwards, referring to Example 1, the above-mentioned carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composite material was made into a cathode material for...

Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon-coated lithium sulfide nano-crystal composite material, a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the carbon-coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composite material includes: providing a lithium sulfide solution and a polymer solution, then mixing the lithium sulfide solution and the polymer solution to obtain a composite powder, and then performing calcination to obtain the carbon Coated lithium sulfide nanocrystal composite material. The method of the present invention is simple and effective, with mild conditions, and can efficiently prepare lithium sulfide nanocrystals with a particle size of about 5 nm and wrapped in carbon materials. This material can significantly reduce the energy barrier that lithium sulfide positive electrode materials need to overcome when charging for the first time. Improve the conductivity of the positive electrode material and greatly improve the cycle performance of the battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention specifically relates to a carbon-coated lithium sulfide nano-crystal composite material, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry. Background technique [0002] With the increasing shortage of traditional resources and energy and the increasingly serious environmental problems, the development of new energy storage and conversion technologies has become the focus of energy strategies of various countries. Among them, lithium-sulfur batteries are high-energy-density secondary batteries with great development potential and application prospects. It uses sulfur as the main positive electrode active material, with high specific capacity (1675mAh / g) and high energy density (2600Wh / kg), the actual energy density has reached 400Wh / kg, and sulfur is cheap and non-toxic. Therefore, lithium-sulfur batteries are attracting increasing attention. [0003] Since 1960, lithium-sulfur battery ...
